How to Sign PDF on iPhone & Android

hi everyone my name is kevin today i want to show you how you can sign a pdf whether you're using an iphone or an android phone all right well should we get to it so today i'm going to be using an iphone however if you have an iphone or if you have an android phone you'll be able to follow along because this free app works on either one so what we're gonna do the first step we are going to get the office app it's an aw it's an app made by microsoft and it's completely free to download and use and it does signing pdfs very very well so what we're going to do is if you're on an iphone we're going to click into the app store if you're on an android phone you're going to click into the play store and what we're going to do is we are going to search for microsoft office so when you search for microsoft office the first one that pops up should be the microsoft office app so here you see it and if you don't yet have this app on your phone go ahead and click on install in this case i've already installed the app on my phone so i am just going to click on open and what this will do is this will land me into the main screen of the office app now the office app could sign pdfs but it also does a lot more than just signing pdfs uh here i could see all my word all my excel all of my powerpoint files i could open them i could edit them on my phone entirely for free so it has lots of rich functionality just as some of the other things that you could do you could take photos of documents you could take photos of whiteboards you could convert them into text you could take a picture of a document turn it into a pdf so it really has a lot of rich functionality but i said i would help you sign a pdf so what we're going to do is in the bottom right hand corner there's an option called actions let's go ahead and click on actions now i see a lot of different actions that i could take within the office app the one we care about though is signing a pdf and so if you go down to the fourth one here it says sign pdf so i could add my signature and so i'm going to go ahead and click on that and now what you need to do is you need to select a pdf file that's available on your phone and one thing you could do is if you don't immediately see your pdf file here we could go ahead and click on the folder that says browse and so what you could do is with the office app you could open a pdf file that might be saved in one drive and so i see one drive you can get documents from sharepoint but you can also open up documents that are saved on your iphone or your android you could also look in a files app location and then you can also look at recent folders so there are many different ways to get pdfs into the app once you have your pdf in the app in my case i have a pdf called modeling contract and i better sign that and get that back quickly before they rescind the contract so i'm going to go ahead i clicked on modeling contract and it's going to open the pdf now um so here i see the pdf modeling contract and then there's lots of legal text on here at the very bottom what you'll see is there's a there's a text dialog that says tap where you wish to sign so what i'm going to do is i'm going to scroll down the document and then here at the very end there's a section for my signature so i'm going to go ahead and click there and i've already entered my signature into the app if this is your first time using the app the office app will ask you to write your signature and once you write your signature it'll remember your signature and then what you could do is any time you want to place it you could simply click in the pdf and then it will insert your signature and what's nice here is i can move my signature around so i'm going to put my signature right there i could also adjust the size of my signature so if i want to be a boss i could go with a really big signature or i just go with a normal size signature so they don't think they don't think anything weird about my signature and so there's my signature and i think that looks good right now and so i'm satisfied with my signature once i'm done signing the document there's a check mark in the top left hand corner i'm going to go ahead and click on the check mark and now it's going to save the pdf with my signature in it so there's my finalized modeling contract document but a contract's no good if i just keep it on my phone so what i want to do is i want to make sure i share it back and in the bottom right hand corner there is the option to share and when i click on share what i could do is because this file's on one drive other people could access the document if i share it with them so i can invite other people if i'd like to do that i could also copy a link to this pdf and allow them to view or edit the pdf and then lastly i also have the option to send a copy and when i click on send to copy this opens up the standard iphone sharing control on android you also have your standard sharing control and what i could do is i could send it via email via messenger so i'm going to click on mail here and what that'll do is it creates a pdf attachment on the email and then i could go ahead and i could send that off to whoever i need to send this contract back to all right well that was just a very quick example of how you could use the office app to sign a pdf on either your iphone or your android phone if this video helped you sign a pdf please give it a thumbs up if you want to see more videos like this in the future hit that subscribe button that way you'll
