Tech inventions have helped facilitate the trend of flexible working arrangements and remote working. Technology makes it easier to be sure everyone is on the same page, staying productive, and collaborating appropriately. Below are 4 tips on how to overcome the challenges of working remotely using our solutions:

1. Open the PDF and click the “Note” tool
2. Tap on where you want to add the note
3. Enter your comments by typing text in the pop-up note
4. The note will be displayed as a pop-up window containing the text content (See the detailed tutorials here)

Indicate the Stages of Processes

Sometimes, using stamps to place an approval with a time and date or indicate the stages in an ongoing document-based process is useful:

1. Click on the "Stamp" tool 
2. Choose a stamp from our premade samples or create your own by adding text or image
3. Place the stamp on to where you want it to be (See the detailed tutorials here)

2. Choose a signature from your signature library
3. Or create a new one by typing your name, import a signature image, or signing on the trackpad(or your mouse)

5. Resize and drag the signature to where you want it to be (See the detailed tutorials here)
