Transcript

What is the Preview app even for? I'm going to delete it now. Wait, it actually has some very useful features. Look, go to the Preview app and tap Scan Documents. The iPhone automatically scans the document, straightens it, and improves the quality. Now, at the bottom, tap Autofill. Highlighted fields appear where you can enter all the necessary data right from your phone. You can edit the text, change the font, size, color, and so on. Next, add a signature and place it in the desired spot. If needed, change the size and line thickness. Done, no printing, manual filling or re-scanning. Save and share this video with a friend.
