add signature in preview on Mac using iPad not working Hi, I'm using 2020 Macbook Pro 13' (not M1) with Catalina, and iPad pro. I want to add a signature on preview using iPad. When I choose iPad from the options, nothing happens on my iPad. But what I learned from other video clips, iPad screen should change into some kind of a signpad. Other options like trackpad or camera are working fine. Please help me.

Option to use iPhone/iPad for signature not available in Preview? I'm trying to insert a signature into a PDF in Preview, following the instructions here: Fill out and sign a PDF form in Preview on Mac - Apple Support Unfortunately, I am not given the option to use an iPad/iPhone at all. I have an iPhone 13 mini that is currently signed in to the same iCloud account as the mac I'm using, as well as a 13 pro that is on a different account but associated through family sharing; neither one is available in the annotation toolbar drop-down, although the mini does show up as an option to import photos and scan documents from in the file menu. I've attached a screenshot of the issue. I can't seem to find any information on this or anyone else experiencing the same problem. Do you guys have any input? Thanks!

Signature in Preview I have the signature from my iPad showing up in a separate untitled Preview document with the markup tool bar showing. But when I go to copy, paste/drag/insert, nothing shows up in the document where I need the signature to appear. What is it I am not doing or what setting needs adjustment?

Try booting into Safe Mode then restart normally.

If you are trying to indicate you can't click on the "iPhone or iPad" tab, try restarting your Mac.
