Quick tip of the day

Let’s say you get a PDF in your email and you need to sign it. If you know a few tricks, you can do so in a jiffy — without paying for another program.

You can sign a PDF using your mouse, but I don’t recommend it; it’ll look like a two-year-old did it for you. Instead, sign a piece of paper and save it on your device using your smartphone’s camera or your computer’s webcam. You can then import that image into the PDF.

  • If you’re on Windows, Adobe Reader DC is tops to sign PDFs. Simply download and install the free app and open your file. In the app, at the bottom right, click Fill and Sign and follow the prompts.
  • On a Mac, use Preview. It has integrated signing options so you can skip the paper signature. Love that!

Will AI eventually replace greenscreens?

People have been using greenscreen technology for a long time. Meteorologists use it to explain the weather, movie directors use it to create incredible scenes, and online influencers use it to make fun videos. But now that artificial intelligence is becoming more advanced, some wonder if greenscreens will become obsolete.
