How to scan and sign a document on iPhone

Turn a paper document into a PDF, place your saved handwritten signature, and share one signed file from your iPhone.

Quick answer

Choose Scan Document, capture each page, finish the scan, tap Sign, place your signature, and export the signed PDF.

Step by step

  1. 01

    From the import screen choose Scan Document. Keep the page flat, capture all required pages, and check their order before finishing.

  2. 02

    Add your signature

    Open the scanned PDF, tap Sign, choose a saved signature, and drag it onto the correct line.

  3. 03

    Size and verify

    Pinch to resize. Move through every page and make sure no required signature line was missed.

A cleaner scan starts before capture

  • Use even light and keep the phone parallel to the page.
  • Check page order before signing a multi-page scan.
  • Keep the paper original when the recipient asks for it.

Questions

Can I scan more than one page?

Yes. Capture the pages into one document, then place signatures on the pages that need them.

Is scanning a document the same as scanning a signature?

No. Document Scan creates the PDF. Signature Scan captures and cleans the handwriting you place on that PDF.
