When Apple Markup is enough — and when it is not
- Markup works well for a quick one-off signature drawn with your finger.
- Use PDF Sign & Scan when you want the handwriting from paper, a reusable signature library, or more deliberate placement across PDF pages.
- Keep the original PDF until you have checked the signed export.
