I used a more modern version of that device in the stock exchange back in the 70's.

Why not just sign everything with this

[xoggoth]

Not entirely sure I'm understanding requirement but could you not do all this in OneNote, included with Office? You can type in the document and sign on a blank image at foot with any Pen Tool, eg Wacom. Or you can scan in the document/paste screenshot and sign that.

Bolshie, if you are struggling writing your name and have to resort to doing it electronically have you thought about trying something like this?

Choices of devices for Capturing Handwritten Signatures & Software

To get rid of paper you may cosider various options - all used in production today:

* Signature Pads - rom various vendirs, personal suggestion prefer those with Wacom Pen Technology & Windows PC

Mobile Devices

a) iPad
as used for example by insurance companies like AIA & INTER Insurance Goup (Germany)

or b) - for better signature quality - with Pen Technology from either Wacom or n-trig inside

* Android Smartphones (e.g. Samsung Galaxy Note 5.3)
* Android Tablets (e.g. 8" Olivetti Graphos, 10.1" Samsung Galaxy Note from Aug 2012)
* Windows Tablet PCs in slate or convertible mode (various vendors)

+ E-Signature Software

There is one software which is also used in banks as the signature is not "just a dumb graphic image only" but biometric features are captured and security certification is SignDoc.

Hope this was of some help.

Alas that is the same for any signature regardless of how its inserted into the document

Perhaps but if it has a digital security certificate it lessens the risk a little imo.

Yeah thanks I know, you mentioned that before. But like I said, its a bit easy for someone to copy and paste that to any number of other documents.

Sign a piece of paper, take a photo or scan it in and keep on file to use in forms

Anyone know of reasonably cheap, electronic signature pad so you can add signatures to documents?

We're supposed to be at the forefront of IT and friggin agents want me to print out pieces of paper, sign them (sometimes by 2 different people), scan them all in then return!? WTF!?


Dont they realise plenty of people dont use PSC's anymore? Besides, the ink's friggin expensive and dries up when not used regularly!
