We are in the middle of developing this feature as part of Print Wizard,
both within AnzioWin (our terminal emulation client) and the freestanding
Print Wizard product. Right now we are focusing on the Topaz 1x5 pad. I
would encourage anyone interested in this area to contact me off-list.
Some specific points about the direction our efforts are going:
1) All our software runs on the Windows platform. Integration with the
server will vary depending on which if our products is used.
2) We intend to display an entire page, such as a contract, an invoice, or
an acknowledgement of receipt, and have the customer (or whoever is
signing) be able to see what they're signing. I think of this as a "sign
here" approach.
3) The document to be displayed can be plain text, PCL, PDF, or Print
Wizard Markup Language, with or without a form overlay applied. This can
be a multi-page document.
4) A template, in the form of a PWML overlay, will specify where to sign.
This can be multiple pages, and can specify multiple places to initial or
sign.
5) We will immediately merge the signature with the input document (and
overlay) and output to PDF, using only our own software. Alternatively, we
could print or fax the output.
6) We intend to provide support specifically for the family of Topaz
hardware.
7) We also intend to support the "ink" capability of the TabletPC
platform, to allow signing directly ON THE SCREEN.
8) The TabletPC support will be portable to Windows-based tablets,
including those running the recently announced Windows 8.
9) We already have support for digitally certifying an output PDF. We will
explore connecting these features.
Again, if you are interested, please contact me.
