Once signed, you can save the document to your device or transfer it through other methods like the cloud or a USB flash drive.

How to sign documents on Android phone’s browser.
If you already have too many apps on your phone and don’t have the space (or desire) for another, you can sign PDFs on Android using an online PDF editor.
Using your device’s web browser, visit the PDF filler page of your choice and follow these steps:
- Upload the PDF you want to sign.
- Use the toolbar to complete the fillable form and add your electronic signature.
- Rename and save the document.
- Download the completed form to your mobile device or get a shareable link.
Since the entire process is done through your browser, you won’t have to worry about yet another app taking up your phone’s precious storage space — which means more space to store photos of your pet or funny memes you found online.
After I sign the PDF on Android, can I save a copy?
Yes, after you sign a PDF on your Android device, you can save a copy of the signed document. If you’re using a PDF editor app like Acrobat or Google Docs, simply use the Save or Save As option to save the document to your device’s internal storage, an external SD card, or a Cloud service like Google Drive.
If you’re signing the document through a web browser on your device, download the completed file, which is typically saved in the Downloads folder. You can then access, edit, or move the file as needed and share it.
