I need to put my handwritten signature on a PDF contract that was emailed to me, and I don’t have a printer or scanner at home. I’m on a Windows laptop, and the other party wants it back by tomorrow, so is there a way to do this?

Honestly, the easiest way on Windows is just opening the file in Microsoft Edge. It has a draw tool at the top so you can just scribble your signature with your trackpad and save it.
