How To Set Up eSign in MacApp

This week's tech tip is a neat little trick that's built into your Mac. Has someone ever e-mailed you a PDF that you need to sign and return? Well normally you'd print out the PDF, physically sign the paper, scan it and email it back to the person that sent it originally. But that's a waste of time and a waste of paper. Instead using Preview which is a built-in image viewer on your Mac you can digitally add your signature to a PDF that's been emailed to you and send it back in no time. To set this up, open Preview by clicking on the spotlight icon in the top right corner of your screen and typing in 'preview'. When you open Preview, nothing will actually open but you'll notice across the menu bar on the top it will say Preview and list the number of menus related to Preview. From here click on Tools then Annotate then Signatures then Manage Signatures. Once the little Manage Signatures box pops up you'll have two options to digitally add your signature to Preview. One is you can use the trackpad to add your signature. In order to do so, all you need to do is click 'click here to begin' and then sign your name on the trackpad. That can be a little bit tricky so the second option might be a little bit easier. The second way is to sign a piece of paper and use your Mac's camera to capture the signature and add it to Preview. To do this, simply sign a piece of paper and once you're at the Manager Your Signature menu click on the tab that says 'camera' and then hold your signature up to the camera on your computer. Your computer will take a picture of it and save it in Preview to use anytime you need it. Once you've got your signature saved, all you need to do to use it is open up a PDF then click on the tool box on the top right corner of the toolbar and there's a button that will pop up that's a signatures button. Once you click on that, all you need to do is click and drag to add your signature to any PDF. This is a super simple way to sign documents digitally and save you a lot of time.
