Vb "proof" to tablet

I've written a system in vb using visual studio, I'd like to output a "proof" document which could be used on a tablet to get a customer signature and then store the signed document.

Anyone got any thoughts/pointers/ideas/links
 
Can you not just send a PDF? There's numerous PDF signing apps/document readers in the app stores. You'd obviously have to build the logistics around getting it to them and back (just an e-mail?), but I may have misunderstood your question.

Yes, that was my thought to.

You could email it or the user could download it from the web.
 
Sorry, not very clear, the proof will be on a tablet that I will be physically putting in front of the customer to sign.

How do I output a PDF from a vb app?
 
Thanks for that, I'll do some googling.

My system runs on a network of desktops/laptops the proof will be output to a dropbox, picked up on a tablet (or large format smartphone), signed and stored back in the dropbox.

The system currently outputs a job sheet to a printer, so I'll look to do the same for the proof but use a plug in.
