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.
Read guide →How to sign a Word document
Word documents don't have built-in electronic signature support that holds up legally. The reliable approach is to convert your Word document to a PDF, sign it electronically, and return the signed PDF. This takes about two minutes and gives you a properly signed, legally valid document.

Signing documents on iPhone is straightforward once you know the right approach. InkRobin works entirely in Safari with no app to download and no account required for signers. You can sign a contract, NDA, or offer letter on your iPhone in under two minutes.
Read guide →How to sign a document on Mac
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.
Read guide →How to send a document for electronic signature from Gmail
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. The recipient clicks the link, signs in their browser, and you get notified. No attachments, no back-and-forth.
Read guide →How to request a signature from someone else
Requesting a signature from someone else is a three-step process: prepare the document with the right signature fields, enter the signer's details, and send them a link. InkRobin handles the rest: the email, the signing experience, the completion notification, and the final signed PDF. Here's exactly how to do it.
