How to get a PDF signed from your phone, start to finish
A practical walkthrough: upload, place fields, send, and what the other person sees — all from a handset.

Most e-signature products were built for a desktop and later made to load on a phone. The difference shows up at the fiddly part: placing fields on a page you can barely see. Here is the whole round trip on a handset.
Sending
- Open the prepare page and pick a PDF — from Files, iCloud, Drive or a photo scan. No account yet.
- Tap where a field goes. Tap again with a different field type selected for dates, text or checkboxes. Fields can be dragged and removed.
- Add recipients and choose whether they sign one after another or all at once.
- Choose how each person proves who they are: the emailed link alone, or a six-digit code sent to them first.
- Send. The document is frozen at that moment, and that exact version is what every recipient sees.
What the other person does
They tap the link in their email. The agreement opens — no account, no app, no download. They read the terms on screen, agree to sign electronically, enter a code if you asked for one, fill in their fields and draw or type a signature with a finger. Then they get their own copy.
What you get back
The completed PDF with the signatures in place, a certificate of completion, and an evidence record covering every step — who opened it, when, how they authenticated and what they consented to. Export it whenever you like — the export verifies on its own, without this service.
