How To Sign A Contract Online PDF Document With Easy Scanner
You can sign a contract in Easy Scanner on an iPhone, an Android phone, an iPad or a Galaxy Tab. No printer, no scanner, no meeting just to put pen to paper.
The app also keeps more than one saved signature, so if two people need to sign the same document on the same device, each of them can add theirs once and reuse it later.
Why sign contracts online
A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties (Wikipedia has a good overview if you want the formal definition). Most of the friction around contracts isn't the agreement itself. It's the logistics: printing, signing, scanning it back, mailing it, or driving across town to sign in person.
Signing on your phone cuts most of that out. You save the trip, you skip the printing and postage, and a contract that arrives at 6 p.m. can be signed and sent back before dinner instead of waiting for the next office day.
Steps to sign a PDF document online with Easy Scanner
- Step 1: Open Easy Scanner.
- Step 2: Tap Scan.
- Step 3: Scan the contract, or add a document or image you scanned earlier.
- Step 4: Tap to add a signature. Draw a new one or pick one you've saved.
- Step 5: Tap Apply to put the signature on the page.
- Step 6: Drag it to the right line, then tap Place to confirm.
From there you can export the signed file as a PDF and send it back by email or whatever app you normally use.
What makes signing in Easy Scanner handy
- It works the same way on iPhone, Android phones, iPad and Galaxy Tab, so you can sign on whichever device is closest.
- You can save several signatures, for example yours and a business partner's, and pick the right one each time.
Before you send it back
Zoom in on the signed page once before you share it. A signature that landed half on the line looks sloppy, and it only takes a second to move it. If this is your first contract in the app, the free 3-day trial is enough time to try the whole flow on a real document.
