Documents allows you to easily sign PDF documents and forms. You can draw a signature with your finger or the Apple Pencil and save it for future use. This makes Documents a perfect solution for signing PDFs on the go.
Note: Documents provides basic electronic signature capabilities by means of a signature tool. The legal framework for electronic signatures varies from country to country and the validity of electronic signatures depends upon the requirements of the receiving party of the contract. We recommend you consult a local attorney regarding your legal case, specify what constitutes a valid electronic signature in your country and jurisdiction and whether it is legally binding.
