With the Microsoft Office app, iPad and iPhone users can also create and sign PDF documents, as well. Another option available to iPad and iPhone users is to download from the Apple App Store the Microsoft 365 Mobile Apps bundle, which installs the Microsoft Office app bundle as well as OneDrive, Outlook and OneNote within a single app.
