One of the most common work arounds that professionals use for signing a document without having to print is keeping a photograph/scan of their signature. Whenever the need strikes, they scramble through their email inbox or device folders to find the image tucked in and later copy-paste it onto the document. This is usually followed by a short-lived feeling of joy mixed with relief.
But then, this beloved hack starts to fail and becomes too cumbersome when one has to deal with multiple documents from multiple sources across various formats. And well, these are just some of the many problems that might arise.
