#12Heh. Probably unnecessary to make it look like it was put in the scanner misaligned. Just scan the signature itself and past that image onto the image of the document.

#13This could go a lot further. I once did something similar with a rubberstamp image taken from the web, replaced some of the on-a-curve text in the GIMP, applied various filters to make the seal look like it was stamped on unevenly, and composited it over the page. Did the trick.
Would be neat to have this take a rubberstamp image and do all that work too.

#14Preview on Mac OS can do this. You hold your signature up to the camera and then it creates an image you can add to any pdf.

Meh. That really doesn’t always look very legit. Especially if you can “select” all the text, and when you select the signature you see a nice box around it. It’s then too obvious it was added as an image.
I don’t disagree that the whole “signing and scanning” is dumb, though.

#16I vaguely recall hearing a while ago that it may be counted as a forgery if you copy and paste your own signature that way. These days it even happens that you can simply type your name as a signature, but it's quite hard to be sure what's okay and what's potentially a crime with these bureaucracies. But for a tool like that, it might be useful to write down in which jurisdictions it's certainly okay (or not) to use.

#17Favourite part has to be where you can have a list of signatures to randomly choose from. I assume it was done so that not all signs look same and robotic ?

#18Very nice, I do this a couple times a year by hand. I'll have to keep this in mind for next.

#19My go to these days is just open gimp -> use my tablet pen -> save again to PDF. I've never been questioned.
Yup, I just "sign" in Acrobat Reader using a signature image I scanned a long time ago, which should be pretty obvious to most people what I've done. But nobody ever complains.

#20Honest question: As long as you say you signed it, and you say it's your signature, does it matter how real it looks?
