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.
