If you want to do it in the postscript/pdf world the easiest way is to use a desktop scanner + software to produce an eps(encapulated postscript) file of each signature(a secretary or clerk could easily perform this task). The signatures produced can be stored as individual files on the server/db and inserted into other postscript documents with a fairly standard set of commands. Pdf conversion is trivial. The solutions involving font downloads and micr chips for the printer are problematic in that the solution becomes tied to a specific piece of hardware ie electronic transmission of signed documents is difficult/impossible and failure of the hardware can cause headaches. On the other hand, tying to particular hardware might be good from a security point of view. - Robert ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
