choose a form to fill out. Depending on which operating system you have, you can choose from
the following methods to import a form:
a. Android:

phone or tablet.

phone or tablet as a photo.

phone or tablet.
ii. Web URL: you can provide the link to a form provided on HPD’s website. Forms

iii. Camera Roll: this option allows you to open a form you have saved on your

v. Email Attachment: this option allows you to upload a form from your email. To
use this option, open a pdf from the email app on your phone and click the
button on the top right. Then, find the Adobe Fill & Sign sharing option and click
that.
3. Once you open the form in the app, you can begin to fill it out. Tap anywhere to add text. A
black popup will appear, which you can use to increase or decrease text size, delete a text box,
and add a check mark or an X, and include a field that separates characters by boxes.
4. The last thing you'll need to do is to sign the form. To enter your signature, tap on the signature
icon (it’s the icon that looks like a pen) in the top-right. If it's your first time using the signature
feature, you'll be asked to create a signature. You can also create initials in this same menu.
The screen will rotate and you can use your finger or stylus to draw your signature. Hit "Done"
when you're finished.
Now, when you press on the signature icon, you can choose your signature from the menu that
appears. You can resize it by pressing on the arrow icon next to the signature and moving it left
or right. You can also press down on the blue box and move your finger to place the signature
where you want.
5. When you're finished filling the form out and adding your signature, you can save and share it
with HPD. Tap on the share button, which will save the form to your device, as well as bring up
options for you to share it with. From here, you can share your forms with HPD via encrypted
email.
