Every once in a while you find yourself in a situation, where you have to sign a document and send it. As long as you have a physical document, a pen and the post office is open, you’ll be fine. But what do you do when these conditions are not met? You can wait until the next day and hope you are not too late, or do it with ScanWritr right away.
How to sign documents on your phone/mobile device
Once you have either scanned or imported your document, here is how you do it:
● open ScanWritr and tap the document you need to sign
➢ main document edit screen opens
● tap the middle icon on the bottom bar (pen over a square)
➢ a pen/signature/marker menu opens
● tap the “signature” option

Now, if you have signed something with ScanWritr before, the signature appears on your document, so you just place it, resize it, if needed, save and there you are, your document is signed.
