[Trainer-Talk] electronic signatures

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hello all, I confess that I forgot I was subscribed to this list. It's 
amazing how well filtering into mailboxes works. Anyway, my question.

I regularly submit training reports to the local state agency for my 
customers. However, now they wrote me to tell me they will require 
signatures in the reports. They cannot take true type font signatures 
any more. So, I'm wondering how I can go about doing some sort of 
electronic signature. I'm not talking digital signatures, which are 
different, but actual signatures which can be pasted in and which look 
like my real one.

What I am trying to avoid is having to print the training report and 
signing it, scanning it and then submitting it. Some of these reports 
are quite long and it would be a waist of time unless I can find an 
electronic way of doing this. So, an idea I have is to do something like 
write my signature and taking a picture of it, then having it cropped 
into a small JPG file or something similar. The idea is that in the 
places where my signature is required, I can perhaps paste this picture 
of my signature. However, I don't know if I'm going about this the wrong 
way or if there are other ways of getting this done. That's why I'm 
coming to everyone here.

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.
