How to scan sign and lock a contract PDF on iPhone

To handle a contract on your phone, scan each page to a crisp PDF, add your signature, and lock the file — keeping a sensitive document on your device instead of a third-party cloud.

Short answer

A signed contract is sensitive, so the ideal flow keeps it on-device: scan every page to a straight, clean PDF, drop your signature where needed, and lock the finished file behind Face ID or a password. ScanTo Pro does all of this on-device and batches the pages into one PDF, so you can send a signed, secured file without uploading it to an online service first. It's pay-once with no account.

Try ScanTo Pro on a real example first, and check the current App Store listing for exact features and pricing before you decide.

What to look for before choosing

  • Sharp multi-page PDF with straightened pages
  • Add a signature directly on the page
  • Lock the finished PDF with Face ID or a password
  • On-device — no forced cloud upload
  • Pay-once, no account

FAQ

Can I sign inside the app?

Yes — add a signature onto the scanned page before exporting.

ScanTo Pro can lock the finished file behind Face ID or a password.

Does it stay private?

Scanning and signing happen on-device, so the contract isn't uploaded unless you choose to share it.
