Hi,

Translating from Word to pdf is easy on the Mac and can be done through the 
print dialog.

Yeah that’s my probellm,
 
I’ve got my ipad also and again was concerned about sig location.
 
 
 
Not to mention that the documents are currently in word format and on my 
windows notebook although that’s not difficult to correct.

Hi,
 
Yes, in Preview, you are able to sign with your finger directly on the 
Trackpad.  The difficulty arises in the location of the signature.  I've always 
used sighted assistance to ensure that the signature is properly placed, as I'm 
not sure that it would automatically be able to do that.

Hi Jonathan,
 
So are you saying that directly on to the touch pad I should be able to sign my 
name in to the letter through preview or should I say within preview?

hello,
 
Preview is supposed to have a sign document functionality. 
I don’t remember exactly how it works, but my El Capitan system does have 
 
Tools->Annotate->Signatures->manage Signatures 
 
menu item. 
 
I believe that Tidbits might have described how to do this also in a article 
about a year and a half ago.
 
Best Wishes,
 
Jonathan

Hi Listers,
 
I urgently need a solution to a problem with a word document.
 
I’ve got 2 job application cover letters and CV to submit before the end of 
today
 
Problem is that the cover letters have been written in MS Word 2016 on a 
windows notebook 
 
Now because I don’t have access to a working printer / scanner to print the 
letter and sign it then scan it to PDF 
 
I need a solution to  being able to sign the cover letters,
 
One option I can try is to sign it on my ipad but currently I don’t have word 
setup or a stylus to sign with  but guess finger would do fine.
 
 
Anyone else got any other possible solutions.
Anything would be appreciated.
 
Cheers
