Guide to adding a signature to a PDF here. You can save multiple signatures and add them to the document easily. Our spellings were checked as we typed – indicated by the usual squiggly line.Īdding a signature is simple, with three options for doing so: using a trackpad, iPhone or iPad, or by signing your name on a piece of paper and holding it up to the camera.

The export dialog will ask for a pixel density (in ppi) to use for the export, as it is assumed that you are converting vector graphics/text to bitmap graphics…Īnother possibility is to use the marquee/selection tool to select an area or the whole page and press Cmd-C, then create a new Preview document from the selected area by pressing Cmd-N, and save the new document in a bitmap format.
However, if you have a PDF file that contains only embedded bitmap images, and you want a downsized version of that image, it's possible to use the Preview's export feature: File > Export.
Usually you don't want to change the format of a PDF document, anyway. The Adjust Size / Colour feature in Preview doesn't work for PDF files, only for bitmap image files.
