How to sign a PDF
Signing a PDF used to mean printing it, scribbling on it, scanning it, and emailing the scan back. That workflow is dead. You can now sign any PDF electronically in minutes, from any device, and the result is legally equivalent to an ink signature under the ESIGN Act and UETA.

Mac has Preview built in, which lets you draw a signature on a PDF. It looks like an e-signature but has an important limitation: there's no audit trail. If a dispute ever arises, a Preview-inserted signature image is nearly impossible to verify. For contracts, NDAs, and anything with legal weight, InkRobin's web-based signing takes 90 seconds and produces a tamper-evident signed document.

There's no built-in e-signature feature in Gmail. But you don't need one. The cleanest workflow is to create a InkRobin signing document, copy the signing link, and paste it into your Gmail message.
