I need to send a signed form back to my landlord today and all I have is a photo of the paper taken with my phone. Our building manager keeps saying it has to be a PDF, not a picture, and I’m running out of time before the cutoff this afternoon. ---

I agree, needing a PDF at the last minute is annoying. Open the photo, tap Share or the menu button, then choose Print. On iPhone, pinch out on the print preview to turn it into a PDF and save it to Files. On Android, pick Save as PDF in the printer dropdown. Honestly, those built-in options are quick enough for most deadlines. ---

iPhone or Android? On iPhone, open the photo, tap Share, then Print, pinch out on the preview and it becomes a PDF you can save. On Android, open it in Google Drive, tap the three dots, Print, then pick Save as PDF. Either way takes under a minute, so you’ll make the cutoff. ---

Open the photo, tap Share or Print, then choose “Save as PDF” or “Print to PDF” and save it to Files/Downloads. Tip: crop and straighten it first; avoid sending a screenshot, as that can look blurry and may not count as a proper PDF. ---

On my phone, I would open the photo in the Files app and use Print, then pinch out on the preview and save or share it as a PDF. Check that the signature is readable before sending. Avoid taking a screenshot of the photo, since that can make the text less clear. ---

@cameron2002 that is exactly how I help my stressed clients send me signed event contracts from their phones. It really saves the day, just make sure the margins don’t get cut off during the print preveiw trick. What device are you usually on when doing this? ---

@guitar_mouse the pinch out trick works for me too. I’d add that you should keep a copy of the original photo before converting, in case the preview crops an edge. Straighten it first so the signature doesn’t look crooked.
