Preview makes it easy to open images and Portable Document Format (PDF) documents. You can also use Preview to take a picture of signature and add it to PDF documents that requires your signature by using your Macs built-in iSight camera to capture your hand written signature. Here is how:
How to create a signature
Choose Preview > Preferences
Click on “Signatures” and then “Create Signature”
Then sign your signature on a piece of paper and hold the paper up to your Mac’s camera.
When your signature looks correct, click Accept.
How to sign a PDF
Launch the PDF file you want to sign
Click on the Annotations button (pencil icon) then the Signatures button then choose your signature (you may create multiple signatures so you may have multiple signatures listed here).
Now click within the document where you want the signature to appear in the PDF. Thats it. Your PDF doc is signed.
