I need to sign a scanned form for work and only have my Android phone with me; can I add an electronic signature to a PDF on it without using a computer? ---

Yes, if your work accepts a drawn electronic signature. Open the PDF in Google Drive, use the annotation pen to sign with your finger or stylus, then save a copy before sending it back. I learned the hard way to keep the unsigned original. If they require a certificate-based digital signature, ask HR what method they accept. ---

Yes, and you don’t even need to install anything. If the PDF came as an email attachment, open it in the Gmail app and tap the pen icon at the bottom, it has a sign option that lets you draw your signature and save it. If it’s in Drive instead, I’d download it and email it to myself first. Did that show up for you, or are you on a different email app? ---

Yes. Open the PDF in PDFcap on your phone, choose Fill & Sign, then draw your signature with your finger or add a saved signature and place it on the signature line. Save a new copy afterward so you still have the original scan. ---

Yes, that’s easy enough on Android. Open the PDF in Google Drive, tap the annotate option (the pen icon) and draw your signature on the line with your finger, then save a copy. That gives you a drawn, wet ink style signature, which most workplaces accept for scanned forms. If your employer specifically wants a certificate-based digital signature, that’s a different job, so check what they need first. ---

Yes, you can do it entirely on Android. Install Adobe Acrobat Reader, open the scanned PDF, tap “Fill & Sign,” choose the pen icon, create your signature with your finger, then tap where it belongs and save a copy. I learned the hard way to use “Save a copy” first, so the original stays unchanged. Check whether your employer requires a certificate-based digital signature rather than a simple drawn signature.
