In my work as a chief development officer for a community college, my mobile devices are among the most important tools in my work shed. Equally as important are the apps that deliver digital results.

You can sign, fill-in and share Word and PDF documents without ever needing to print, scan or fax again. SignNow has a web version for easy use on your laptop or desktop as well as Android, iPhone and iPad versions.

For low volume users like me, a free account works fine, because I have yet to sign more than five documents a month. I would not hesitate to pay for this service if I needed more features or had more than five forms a month. Learn more about their monthly and annual pricing plans here.
