Steps to sign a document on iPhone using Markup.

To protect your Word document, convert the Word file to a PDF before emailing it to others. There are several benefits to doing this. PDF documents keep your formatting intact while protecting your information to a higher degree than a Word document would. You can also choose the level of privacy on a document, allowing you to lock the document as “view-only” or allowing others to edit after inputting a password. You can also easily highlight and annotate your text.

Markup also comes with a signature feature. It’s a quick and easy way to sign something you want to send out.
