Did you receive your lease or NDA (non-disclosure agreement) in the mail? Instead of signing and sending it back, iPhone and iPad users can easily do the same thing on the device. Here are the best ways to scan and sign documents on iPhone and iPad.
There are several ways to scan and sign documents on your iPhone or iPad. You can use the default Notes app or rely on third-party apps to get the job done. Let us show you how.
1. Using the Notes App
The default Notes app has a built-in scanner to scan documents on the go. You can annotate, add arrows, and even insert signatures into scanned documents. Here’s what you need to do.
Step 1: Open the Notes app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Click the compose mail icon in the lower right corner.
Step 3: Select the camera icon from the following menu.
Step 4: Click ‘Scan Document’.
Step 5: Point your iPhone camera at a document and it will automatically scan and click on that document.
Step 6: Tap the document preview from the bottom left corner. Select Done and tap Save.
Step 7: Open the scanned document and press the share button in the upper right corner.
Step 8: Select Mark from the share menu.
Step 9: Tap the + icon in the top right corner.
Step 10: Click Signature.
Step 11: Select ‘Add or remove signature’.
Step 12: Click the + icon in the top left corner.
Step 13: Sign with your finger. Click Delete to try again.
Step 14: Select Done in the upper right corner. This option will add your signature to the document.
Step 15: Resize your signature. Drag and drop the marker to the desired place. Tap Done in the top left corner and you’re ready to go.
The Notes app also allows you to scan text from documents. When you open the camera in the Notes app, select ‘Scan Text’ and use ‘Live Text’ to extract text from a business card or document.
2. Using Adobe Fill & Sign
If you’re signed up for Adobe Creative Cloud, use the AdobeFill and Sign app on your iPhone to scan and sign documents. Let us show you how.
Step 1: Download Adobe Fill & Sign from the App Store.
Step 2: Sign in with your Adobe account details.
Step 3: Press + at the top. You will find several options for importing documents for signing.
Step 4: Select ‘Take a photo’ to open the built-in camera.
Step 5: It will open the Adobe Scan tool in the application. Grant the necessary permissions to open the camera.
Step 6: Point your phone camera at the document and press the shutter button.
Step 7: The app will not show scanned documents in camera preview. Select ‘Use Photo’ in the bottom right corner.
Step 8: Click Done in the top right corner, the application will analyze the image to scan the document.
Step 9: You can play with some editing tools like rotate, crop and filter to make the necessary changes.
Top Done and your scanned document is ready for editing. It will open the editing interface in the app. Now, let’s sign the document.
Step 1: Click the login button in the bottom menu bar.
Step 2: Select Create abbreviated name.
Step 3: You can draw your signature or import it from photo gallery or camera.
Step 4: Click Done and place your signature in the desired position in the document. Your signed document is ready to share via messaging app or email.
3. Scanner
TapScanner is another handy third-party app for scanning and signing documents on your iPhone or iPad.
Step 1: Install TapScanner from the link below.
Step 2: Click the + button to open the camera and scan the document.
Step 3: Check the editing tools and click Next.
Step 4: Preview your scanned document from the homepage. Select it and start editing.
Step 5: Click on Annotate and select Sign.
Step 6: Click ‘Add signature.’
Step 7: You can draw signature or import from gallery. Select Draw.
Step 8: Unlike the Notes and Adobe apps, you can change the signature color in TapScanner. You can even use the color wheel to choose the right color for your sign.
Step 9: Check the preview and press the check mark to insert your mark into the document.
The ability to sign a document is part of a paid subscription. You have to pay $49.99 to unlock this function.
We recommend using an iPad with a stylus to draw your signature in supported apps. It will yield better results than using your fingers on iPhone. Which app from the list would you choose to sign and scan documents on your iPhone? Share your preferences in the comments below.
