Preview in Lion adds the ability to annotate a PDF document with an image of your signature.

WIth Lion you can add an image of your signature to a PDF file. This allows you to send a signed PDF form without having to fax it. There are some tricks to getting a good signature image. Here's what to do:

You can have multiple signatures. For example, create a signature with your middle name. In addition to your signature you can create handwritten symbols such as check marks, faces, or phrases.

Paste the signature into a document by selecting View » View Annotations Toolbar, then selecting the Signature tool, click on the signature you want to use, then click on the document where you want the signature to appear.

[crarko adds: This is a very welcome, if somewhat overdue, addition to Preview.]
