Saving pdf’s is easy: file->print->save as pdf (the button is on the bottom left hand side)
Now you can open the PDF in Preview (this works on iPad too, works really well with a hardware keyboard) and click the box with the three dots and the pen, eventually you can type in text in the blue fields by mousing over them and clicking, i think there’s another step but I’m not sure
If you want to sign PDFs, not as in SSL cert, but handwriting, click the pen icon (not the box with three dots and the pen), and select a line width size on the left, and you should be able to draw with the mouse/Apple pen/Touchpad/touchscreen/drawing pad; a signature
Then you can save pdfs and print or email them or send them
It’s super important that you have a printer, by the way, and a filing cabinet is recommended, especially when saving and storing large amounts of important files.
Let’s say you have a PDF from a government agency you need to fill out.
You can either print, fill out, sign, scan, and email, or print, fill out, sign, and mail
Or you can download, fill out using Preview, save on your hard drive and or print, store, organize, and then email or send to its recipient, this shouldn’t take more then 5 minutes
Additionally, you can save web pages and important web sites (think a very important article) as pdf by printing as pdf and saving. On iPad you can save most documents as a pdf by clicking “share” and selecting saving to PDF somewhere, this should save the PDF on your on device storage and you should be able to store on your cloud
This method is awesome for the MSO365 suite, especially when dealing with spreadsheets or Word documents. I believe they can also be password protected.
Enjoy!
