How to scan, sign, and email a document on iPhone

ScanFile guide

A paper form does not need a trip through a desktop scanner. You can capture it, add a handwritten signature, and send the finished PDF from your iPhone.

1. Scan or import the form

Open ScanFile and scan the paper form. If the document arrived as an image or PDF, import it instead. Make sure every required page appears in the document review.

2. Correct the page

Review the crop, rotation, and readability before signing. A signature should be the final edit, not a reason to overlook a cut-off edge or unreadable field.

3. Add your signature

Open the drawing and signature tool, sign with your finger, then place and resize the signature over the correct line. Save the page when the placement looks right.

Check before sendingConfirm that the signature belongs on this document, that all required fields are complete, and that no page containing sensitive information was added by mistake.

4. Share the signed PDF

Choose the PDF export and open the iOS share sheet. Select Mail or another email app, address the message, add a useful subject line, and verify the attachment before sending.

5. Keep your copy

The ScanFile document remains in your local library unless you delete it. You can also save the exported PDF to Files or another location you control.

Scan, sign, and send from one place.

ScanFile is available for iPhone and iPad.
