In this video, we will learn few things. The first thing is how
to connect third party applications with your Google
Drive. And the second thing we will learn in this video is how
to sign a PDF document from within your Google Drive. Now I
say PDF document. Because there are two different situations.
One is that you are signing a Google document, which is
basically a word like document. And the second is you are
signing up PDF document the applications which allow you to
sign Google documents, they are paid applications, and I'm going
to show you the most popular one as well. But for signing a PDF
document, I have got an application, which is a good
application and which is free, which allows you a free account,
it also has a paid version. So therefore I will demonstrate
that no, there is another possibility. If you are talking
about PDF files that you can sign the PDF files from within
the Acrobat Reader application, which is also free. So first of
all, let's talk about the applications which allow you to
sign a non PDF Google document. So the first application which
allows you to sign Google Documents is called panda doc.
And these are the pricing plans for this application, I'm not
going to use this, it's very expensive. The second
application is DocuSign. And this also is a paid application.
And if I click on the pricing, and E signature plans, as you
can see that this is also very expensive application. And the
third application, which I'm going to show you in this video
is doc hub. And this application allows you to sign PDF
documents. And if I click on their pricing plans, we have a
free version and a paid version and free version allows you to
sign 2000 documents maximum, but five e signatures per month are
allowed. So if you use only occasionally, as I do, so you
can just create a free account and you can use it. So I will
close these two applications now. Because these I am not
going to use. And I also closed this application. And in my
Google Drive, I have already connected this application
because I have created an account. But I will show you how
you can connect this. So the way you connect any application is
you click on new, more, and then connect more apps. So once you
click on that, it will show you all the available apps. And for
example, if I want to connect this app, there will be a
Connect button. And you just click on this connect and it
will be connected. And because I have already connected this doc
hub, so I click on this, it will show me that it is connected.
And now I can straight away use this app and I will show you how
you can use it. Let's close this. And this is the document
which I want to sign using this application. And if I open this
document in Acrobat Reader, as you can see that on the right
hand side, I have this option, fill and sign. So I can sign
this in Acrobat Reader. So what's the point of using a doc
hub application, the benefit of using doc hub is that doc hub is
connected with your Google Drive. So you can sign a
document straight away from within your Google Drive. And
this is what we are going to do now. So this is the document the
same document in my Google Drive. I double click on this,
it opens in the preview pane. And if you have installed this
application, you will see it here doc hub application. And I
can straight away click on this click
now you will get another screen in between which will ask you to
allow permission. So this brought me straight into the
application interface. But when you will click first time it
will ask you to allow permissions and if you are
happy, you can allow the permission and then it will show
you this screen. So no, this document is already in this
application. So I want to use the existing one. And in this
application, you can not only sign but you can also add some
annotations to your PDF files. And these are few things you can
add here. You can for example highlight something and you can
also put some icons in your file for example, a checkbox if you
want, but since this is not a tutorial of doc hub, so I'm not
going to explain all this but you can find it yourself. These
are self explanatory. Okay, now I have placed myself on the left
hand side so that I could explain to you how to sign a
document. So to sign a document, you click on this sign and then
click signature. And now you have few options. The first
option is that you can use your phone as a finger signature pad,
you can type your number and sent. The second option is you
can draw something. So let me draw something here. So this is
my signature. And no, I can click on this Save as default.
So click on this. And now this will show me how my signature
will look like on the document. And then it will disappear. And
now if I go there, I get another option, manage your signatures.
And now if I click on that, I can see that this is my default
option which I can delete. And I can also add a new signature if
I want. And if I click on new signature again, the same dialog
box will appear. And if you have scanned your signature in a PNG
file with a transparent background, then you can also
upload the file from your computer. And once you click on
Choose File, it will take you to the to your PC, and you can
select the file, the best file is a PNG file with a transparent
background, know in type, whatever is your name, it will
recognize your name, and it will give you few options. If you
want to select any of these options as your signature, for
casual purpose where there are there is no importance, you just
want to put your sign, you can select any of these options, and
it will include it into your signature list. So these are
some of the options and all these options are available for
initials as well. So let's see, I click on Create your signature
again and know this reward in the signature area. And if I
click on initials area, I can, again has all the options. And
no if I click on for example, draw and then I say this is my
initial let's say, this is my initial and no I click on Save
as default initial, it will show me how my initial will look
like. And now if I click on Manage your signatures, in my
signatures, I have default signature in my initial I have
this initial, that's it. And no we can I can put my initial our
signature, whatever I want. And now once you have your
signatures and your initials both available in this area of
your application, then you are ready to sign the document,
click on this sign, and no you have to decide whether you want
to put a signature or an initial. So let's say you might
want to put a signature. And then wherever I want, I can put
it there. So let's assume I want to put it there. And now if I
click on this signature, on the right bottom, I see this is
quite a red dot. And if I hover over this, I can see this double
sided arrow. I click on this and I can drag and change the size
of my signatures. To adjust the position, I click again and I
hover over these six dots click and drag. So in this way I can
adjust the size of the signature or the position of the
signatures. So this is how you can sign your PDF documents from
within your Google Drive using doc hub application.
