That, um, didnt work out - for the love of Pete, some of you still have fax machines.

For all those annoying times when the old dead tree world intersects with your online life, Adobe has created Fill Sign, an app that lets you easily digitize and automatically fill in paperwork.

You can then tap on the appropriate portions of the paper to manually type in the corresponding information, or use Fill Signs profile feature to do it automatically for most of the basic info fields.

It supports checkmarks for those portions that only require a mark.

At the end, sign your name with a finger (which isnt going to look great - just ask a Square merchant) or a stylus and your signature will be applied to the appropriate field.

Unfortunately the app seems to have the usual Adobe teething trouble on Android - its crashing at launch on my Nexus 6.
