Video Tutorial on How to Sign PDF on Mac

Although Preview on Mac provides a good option to electronically sign documents, it is still limited. For example, you can only use the camera or trackpad to sign a document and there are no options to type your signature or use a saved image as your signature. Sometimes, the camera app is not working properly and if you have a lot of documents to sign, it can be a bit of hassle. This is why PDFelement is a good choice to sign PDFs as an alternative to Preview.

PDFelement is an all-in-one PDF tool. Its editing features will let you seamlessly alter text and images, as well as organize pages in your PDF. The OCR feature even gives you the possibility of making image-based scanned PDFs searchable and editable. You can also create PDF documents from other document formats or vice versa.

PDFelement will let you create and fill PDF forms. You can also add e-signatures to your document to authorize it, and protect your files with password encryption. This prevents unauthorized users from viewing, copying, editing, or printing your file without entering the right password.
