+# I don't have a printer. How do I "print, sign, scan, and email" the license document? {#printer}
+
+ICLA, CCLA, SGA, and Member license documents are PDF forms with entry form fields.
+There is also space for a signature which cannot be typed.
+Using a PDF editor will allow the submitter to fill and sign the forms without printing.
+The precise steps needed depend on the operating system of the submitter.
+
+**MacOSX users:** use your browser to navigate to the
+[.pdf form](https://apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html)
+and download the form to a local file using the save-as function.
+Open the file using **Preview**, the standard PDF viewer/editor. Fill the form fields using the keyboard.
+For the signature, use the **Tools-Annotate-Signature** function to attach a signature. Save the filled form.
+Open the email client and create a message to [secretary@apache.org](mailto:secretary@apache.org),
+attach the filled form and send it to secretary.
+Keep the filled form for your records.
+
+**Apple iOS users:** use your browser to navigate to the
+[.pdf form](https://apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html)
+and download the form using the Files feature. Open the form using **Files**, the standard file viewer.
+Fill the form fields using the keyboard. For the signature, use the **Signature** function to attach
+your signature. Save the filled form. **Share** the file to the email client and send the message with
+the attached form to
+[secretary@apache.org](mailto:secretary@apache.org).
+Keep the filled form for your records.
+
+**Android users** need a third party tool to fill and attach a signature. First, install a PDF tool
+such as **Adobe Acrobat**. These instructions may differ somewhat if you are not using Adobe Acrobat.
+Use your web browser to navigate to the
+[.pdf form](https://apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html)
+and download the form to a local file. The file should automatically open in the PDF tool.
+Fill the form fields using the keyboard. For the signature, use the **Edit** function and choose **Fill & Sign**
+to attach a signature. Save the filled form. Share the file via **Share a copy** to the email client
+and send the message with the attached form to
+[secretary@apache.org](mailto:secretary@apache.org).
+Keep the filled form for your records.
