Ancient companies requiring I print out a form, sign it physically, scan it, send it back... I just open it in Preview, use the text annotation tool and some random cursive font, "sign it", re-export, done. I haven't owned a printer or scanner in 10 years.


It has a feature now where you can scan your signature and pop it into any document on demand. Super useful.


Not just that, you can sign directly on the trackpad. And store that signature for later use.


Or with your finger on an iPhone, or a pen on an iPad.


And "scan" means "hold up to the webcam and take a picture." No scanner needed.


This isn't really too hard these days, at least in theory, since you can use your phones camera to scan the doc.
