I took a photo of a signed contract using my phone, but the client needs it as a PDF. Can I convert the image directly on mobile without transferring it to my computer?

Yes. On Android, open the photo, tap Share or Print, then choose “Save as PDF”; on iPhone, use Print, pinch out on the preview, then tap Share and save it to Files. I do this with signed bills of lading from my phone. Crop and rotate the image first, and check the PDF is readable before sending.

Yeah, easiest way I’ve found is opening the image in Google Drive and using the print option, then “save as PDF”. Or if you have Google Drive’s scan feature, just scan the contract fresh and it saves as a PDF automatically. Did the photo come out readable, or might you need to retake it anyway?

Yes, you can do it right on your phone. Open the photo in PDFcap, choose Convert to PDF, then save or share the new file. Before sending, check that the signature is sharp and all four page edges are visible.

On iPhone, open the photo, tap share then print, and pinch out on the preview to save it as a PDF to Files. On Android, Google Drive’s scan option does the same, or use the print menu and pick save as PDF. Worth knowing: the result is just an image in a PDF wrapper, so screen readers can’t read the text unless you run OCR on it later.
