Every day we can do more things with our phones. Today we can even read and edit PDF from our mobile. Thus, whether we are traveling, on the street or simply do not have our computer at hand, today we can sign contracts, documents, confidentiality agreements and any other PDF from our mobile.
In this article we will see how to sign an agreement in PDF using only your mobile. Also, what other PDF editing tools you can take advantage of.
How to make a digital signature on the mobile?:
Downloading the Adobe application, signing a PDF file is simple, intuitive and secure. Let's see the step by step.
- Download the Adobe app from your App Store. To sign documents, you can use the free version.
- Use the “Acrobat Fill & Sign” or “Fill and Sign” tool to upload your signature by clicking the pencil icon. It will be saved so you don't have to do it every time you have to sign a document.
- Open the document you need to sign from the Adobe app, clicking “Open” and choosing your file there.
- When you click on “Fill & Sign”, it will give you the choice if you want to put the signature that you have already saved or insert a new one. Choose your signature; you can accommodate it in the space you have in the document.
- Save the file and you're done! You already have your document signed, ready to send.
What is digital signature?:
The digital signature is a possibility that the advancement of technology has given us to be able to sign documents electronically. In many cases, a digital signature is just as valid as a physical signature; that will depend on the institutions involved.
The digital signature has its benefits: it prevents the parties from having to meet physically to sign documents; It also avoids that, in case they cannot be found, they have to send them by physical mail, which is very expensive; and, finally, it avoids the unnecessary printing of papers that, as we already know, is harmful to the environment.
What is a confidentiality agreement?:
A confidentiality agreement (or non-disclosure agreement) is an agreement between two or more parties. Agreements of this type serve to prevent the disclosure of sensitive information.
Used in many contracts between two companies or between a company and its employees. It is signed to protect sensitive data and ensure that, whatever happens, the information will be safe.
A confidentiality agreement can be mutual (usually between two companies) or affect only one party, as is often the case in contracts between the company and its employees.
There are many other things you can do with your phone now that you've downloaded the Adobe app. Let's see some.
How to fill out and sign forms online:
Open the form with the Adobe application. Once there, using the same button that we have used to insert the signature (“Fill and sign”), we can insert text, text boxes or check boxes. This is very useful to complete the information requested by some contracts, such as name, address, document number or clarification of the signature, among other information.
How to delete pages from a PDF:
With the file open, we must go to the “Organize Pages” section. You can find it within the “Tools” menu or in the right panel. Select the pages you want to delete, click the “Delete” icon and you're done!
Don't forget to save the new version of the PDF under a different name.
How to edit a PDF file:
It's very simple, just go to the button that says “Edit PDF” on the right panel. You can add or remove text, images, anything. You can also correct what you want, change words, in short, modify everything you need. To edit a PDF, you may need the paid version of Adobe Acrobat .
How to combine files into a single PDF:
You must open Adobe and click on the “Combine Files” button, which you will find in the Tools tab. There, select the documents you want to combine. They can all be PDF files or other file types.
Once you've done that, you can use the other tools we've seen to sort them, delete pages, or edit them. As always, save the new version of the PDF under another name.
Conclusion:
Obviously, there are many things we can do from our mobile. However, all the tools that we have seen here are used exactly the same from the computer.
Now that you know Adobe's tools, you can choose the device you prefer to sign and edit your documents without problems.
