Dec 15, 2016 Note: Your Mac will auto-detect the signature and flip it into a mirror image for correct orientation.You can re-try the signature several times until you’re satisfied with it by clicking on the Cancel button to restart. 7) If the detection looks good, click on the Done button to save it to your Preview app. 8) You can now click on your saved signature to add it to the PDF file. Dec 04, 2014 The Mac Preview app has long included the ability to digitally sign documents with a signature, but up until the most recent versions of Mac OS X, users had to basically sign a piece of paper and then use the Macs front-facing camera to ‘scan’ and digitize the signature. That has changed with modern releases of Mac OS, and if your Mac is running Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, or newer, you.
Was going to start a new thread on this, but will just bump yours: annotations has been broken in Preview since the High Sierra update (the older thread here: Re: preview.app pdf annotation bug). Had hoped the 10.13.3 update would have a new preview build, but it seems we've been on 10.0 (944.4) for a while now, and previous versions in High Sierra had the same problem.
My own annoyance with this — in addition to note annotations vanishing — is that every time I open a previously annotated pdf (whether it is highlighted, underlined, etc.), Preview decides the file has just been edited. Since I work with a large number of pdf files with notes and annotations, date modified is a handy way of organizing. Yes, I can tell Preview to revert back to previously saved version ('are you sure?' yes I'm sure), but I then have to close the file very quickly before the app becomes convinced it has just edited it again. And yes, I can use a file property editor to manually change the date modified, but the next time I open the file to read, it will be re-'edited' again.
Oh, also, if you drag a page from one pdf into another pdf — one of Preview's wonderfully handy features over the last years —, the 'alien' page cannot be bookmarked. Try it! It often will bookmark one of the earlier pages in the document instead.
The work-around I've adopted is re-annotating and then print-saving as a new pdf, which fixes the annotations in stone, as it were (that is, they are no longer seen as annotations but permanent 'fixtures'). Then reinsert my bookmarks from scratch. Then edit file properties to 'real' modification date. Needless to say this is very time-consuming, laborious, and was entirely unnecessary before High Sierra.

Preview User Guide
Some PDFs are forms you can fill out and then print or send. If a form requires a signature, you can add your signature to any PDF.
Fill out a PDF form
If you save the form (by choosing File > Export), you can close it, open it later, and continue to fill it out.
Create and use signatures
To sign PDFs, you can capture your signature using your trackpad, the built-in camera on your Mac, or iPhone or iPad.
If you use iCloud Drive, your signatures are available on your other Mac computers that have iCloud Drive turned on.
