#3I love the idea. Is there any way to programmatically distort a digital signature so that I can avoid printing the signature pdf too?

#4Very nice, just wondering the security implications of having those nice PNGs stealed, someone can sign anything in your behalf...
Adding some known pattern to the signature that can be recognized later in the print would be nice if you need to prove that it was not actually signed by you. But if you get to this point it is already a big mess...

#6I don't get the magical power of a signature at all. Everybody can write my name under a document.
This project basically allows you to forge your own signature. Is it still legally binding? Do these rules even remember the original intent?

that would be forgery, i’ll say

#8From this scripts, it looks like this doesn't convert to black and white, so this might work with Hanko (Japanese stamp seal) too?

#9Mac’s pdf viewer Preview has a signature capture feature built in that’s pretty slick. I use it all the time and haven’t encountered an objection. Tbh I’d wonder why you need to fuzz up and fake scan the image. If someone’s requiring that the doc be “signed in ink” or some such, more power to you!

The question is, can you forge your own signature? If both parties agree that the document is legally binding it seems a bit unlikely that the document would fall under the forged label.
Though I am not a lawyer.
It's also worth noting that digital signatures throughout the european union have legal status.
