| The Easy Way to add signatures into Google docs |
I have stopped sending paper proposals to clients. It's too much of a hassle and often times not worth the cost. It's also worth mentioning not wholly environmentally friendly. So I try to mostly do stuff electronically and I also encourage my clients to do the same. I often tell them to adapt to the change or be left behind. Also, to make it sting a bit, I tell them that an IPad isn't just for playing (insert-what-bird-game-is-popular-here). But there are these unfortunate ones that just don't take an electronic proposal with a signature. These are the people who haven't really caught on but at least their are
drifting in the right direction. All I can really do is accommodate them. Which leads me to:
How do I put a digital signature on a Google Drive document?
There are two ways: The
naive way and the
easy way.
The Naive way
- Take a sheet of paper and make your signature using a wide pen (0.5mm pens at least)
- Scan it or take a picture of it
- Upload to Drive
- Insert it to document.
The Easy way
- Create a new Google document
- Go to Insert > Drawing
- On the Drawing window, change the line to Scribble
- Save & Close
The easy way is not perfect though since signing with a mouse is like writing with a bar of soap but that can be easily fixed with writing tablet from
CD-R King.
The naive way works also, it just too much work for me. Also, my phone camera takes potato-quality images and I don't have a scanner. Who has a scanner these days?
