Use S/MIME in Thunderbird, with a certificate from a certificate agency. Depending on the agency and local laws, it has legal validity.
I can use my phone as a sketch tablet and the tipped pen to "do' a signature as a GIF. I'm sure I can edit that to have a transparent background.
OK, just done that, a nice big sprawling, scrawling "Anton".
Now I wonder, is there a tool to overlay that onto a PDF?
Years ago I sent faxes "signed" by pasting a scanned picture of the signature into a Word document. It was fully accepted by recipient, which of course, knew not how it had been "signed". I guess that faxes have legal status because originally there were no computers to fake them, and the legal system has not caught with the times >:-p And yes, of course I can generate a PDF with that. Tell me about what you have, and I can think of a procedure :-) Besides, I think I read somewhere (Windows Acrobat?) about overlaying signatures on pdfs. I wondered, but I didn't read on the details.
It looks to me as if this is piss poor security; anyone could download the PDF form from the web, fill it in, use any signature that looked like an scrawl beginning with an A-she and ending with a D-shape and any phone number then fax it back, all leaving me completely ignorant.
Absolutely. Later, you could contest it in court. :-/ - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
