HOW TO fill out a .

pdf form using your cel

phone
While working from home you might find yourself in the need to fill out & sign digital documents (usually .pdf’s).
It could be a receipt, a vacation form, or a deduction authorization form, for example.

Finding a internet center to print out the form, fill it out and then scanning the form (or taking a photo) so you can send
it back by mail is an option, but not a very practical one. It costs money and time and it defeats the purpose of the
“Work at Home” initiative, putting you at risk.

If you have a smartphone, you can download, fill out, sign and send the document and save yourself some hassle.

Here’s how:

phone or play store.

Please note that there are several apps that can get the job done; like Office, FreePDF, ReadEra, Drive PDF and others;

2) One you have Acrobat Reader installed, open the email and download the .pdf that you want to fill out. YOU

7) Most times, when you fill put a pdf form, a digital signature is required. If that’s the case with the form you’re
filling out then click again on the “blue pencil” icon once you’re done filling all the required fields.
Then click again on the FILL and SIGN Option
8) This time, click on a “pen” icon that will appear at the bottom of 6he screen
This is the tool to create the signature
