You don't to print and scan a PDF document to sign it. You can use markup tools on your Mac to apply your own signature to a document. You can even do it quickly in Mail without needing to save the file. You can do it on the iPhone or iPad too.

George: They are stored in the keychain, but then if your Mac is not locked other people can get to them and all sorts of other things. Signatures are the least of your problems if you are leaving your Mac unlocked so anyone can get access.

Thanks Gary, I had often thought that there should be a way to sign the PDF and email it back without saving it etc, so thanks for that.
One other thing that has bothered me is that sometimes there is an existing date which I want remove and then paste in the new date, but I cant figure out how to remove the old date and pasting over it dosent work. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks bunches
Are Preview signatures password protected?
Seems someone could sign things if your Mac is not locked.

Peter: Put a rectangle over the old date, make it a white fill or whatever color the background is. Then put your text on top of that.
Great video!! I hate to admit I was one of the Print, Sign and Scan folks before today! :)
