Hello everyone,
I am having trouble with the signature option in PDF documents with preview.
The camera works and sees my signature that I wrote in a piece of paper, but it just does not capture it. Could someone help me out with this?

Thanks!!

Align your signature so the base is near the line on the camera screen. It should then take it.

Then use whiter paper and a darker pen. Good lighting probably helps too. The feature works. Just fiddle with it a bit, but make sure you hold the paper relatively still once you have the signature on the line.

There are plenty of demonstrations on YouTube. I searched for "capture signature with preview" and found several.

I would not have thought to do that for this problem, but I'm glad it worked.
