Sign a PDF with your finger, Apple Pencil or stylus
iEdit lets you draw a signature and place it on any page of a PDF on your iPhone, iPad or Android device. Signatures are saved as vector ink in a new copy of the PDF, your original stays unchanged, and nothing is uploaded.
Overview
Open a PDF, draw your signature in the pad and tap it to drop it on the page. Drag it into position, pinch or pull a corner to resize it, and add it again on other pages if a contract needs initialling throughout. Choose black or blue ink. The signature is written into the PDF as flattened vector paths, so it stays sharp at any zoom. The result is saved as a new PDF named after the original; the source file is left as it was.
On iPhone and iPad the pad uses Apple's PencilKit, so Apple Pencil draws with pressure and palm rejection, and a finger works too. On Android, iEdit's own pad reads stylus pressure and varies the line with speed, so a signature drawn with a stylus or a finger looks like ink rather than wire. Undo and clear let you start again. Signatures you save stay on your device for next time; deleting one removes it from the device but not from PDFs already signed.
Lease agreements, school forms, delivery notes, a consent form the clinic e-mailed: sign them on the sofa without printing. Everything happens on your phone and the PDF is not uploaded. One honest limit: this is a drawn signature placed on the page, not a qualified or certified electronic signature with a cryptographic certificate. For most everyday paperwork it is exactly what is asked for.

Frequently asked questions
Is a PDF signed in iEdit legally binding?
iEdit places a drawn signature on the page as vector ink, much like signing a printout and scanning it. It is not a qualified or certified electronic signature with a digital certificate; whether a drawn signature is accepted depends on the document and your jurisdiction. For everyday forms and agreements it is usually what is asked for.
Does signing a PDF upload it or my signature anywhere?
No. The PDF is opened, signed and saved on your device, and saved signatures are stored only on the device. Nothing is sent to a server, and no account is needed. Deleting a saved signature removes it from your phone; PDFs you have already signed keep it.
Is signing PDFs free in iEdit?
Yes. Signing is free, with no limit on pages or signatures, and the signed copy is saved to My files. Sending that copy on, by sharing it with another app or saving it to Files, is part of iEdit Premium, an optional monthly subscription with a 3-day free trial.
