- Open the email with the attached PDF document within Apple Mail on your iPhone. Then tap the attachment PDF to download and open it.

- Tap on the signature icon in the bottom right corner, and choose ‘Add’. (If you have previous signatures, they will be displayed in a list for you to choose from.)
- Once on the Signatures screen, press the Plus button in the upper right corner. This will enable you to add a new signature.
- Scrawl your new signature across the screen on the line provided – the screen will turn itself to landscape mode in order to provide you with more writing room. Once you are happy with your new signature, tap the Done button and add it to your PDF. Use the Blue handles to resize your signature, and then play with the colours of it by tapping on the different coloured dots.
