Should I teach my boss the simple things I do?

My boss is a lovely and extremely busy person. She's an expert in her field, but doesn't learn new computer stuff comfortably, which has led her to rely on me to do a lot of little tech things for her.

This includes really simple things like adding signatures to PDFs, which can be done with Acrobat Reader and is very easy (I click the "sign" option and plop her saved signature where it should be). I'm happy to do this, especially as she is often very busy.

But it does still require her to email the document to me, wait for me to see and deal with it, and send it back, and then she sends it on where it needs to go. And I worry that she thinks I'm doing something complicated or which requires Acrobat Pro (which I do have and use for other tasks) - and she's always so grateful I feel like a bit of a fraud.

So my question is more one of interpersonal relations: should I tell her how very easy it is, or just keep mum and do it for her? It's just that I don't want her to be dependent on me, especially if it's less convenient to her. (I know that sounds funny when talking about your boss, but she's a friend as well, and I would want my friend to teach me how to do something like this.)
