I just used a digitized copy of my signature. I scanned my signature and that's what I use. It'll stand up in court and that's all I care about. Honestly, an e-mail that says an agreement will stand up in court also, according to my attorney.
Hi Lanel,
I've scanned my signature but it is in pdf format. How do I add that to a document or email?
Amanda,
convert the pdf file to a jpg. The other thing you can do is to re-scan it and tell your scanner to save it as a jpg. This way you can insert the .jpg into your document or email.
I've also used Echosign and think it's a wonderful tool for getting electronic signatures.
I didn't even think about digital signature. A bit confuse on how to create it in pdf and how do you insert it on the document that you send your clients? Any guidance or step on how to create digital signature would be greatly appreciated.

1) Place your signature on a blank sheet of paper
2) Scan the paper with your signature
3) Use your software that came with the scanner to crop the blank parts of the paper and select your signature
4) After you select your signature, save it as a .jpg file.
When you are ready to apply your signature to a document (I presume your contracts are in Word format), open the .jpg file and place it on the signature line of your contract.
I have looked into EchoSign and think it will do the trick. I am very glad to have learned there's another option to using an online service. I think I will start with the pdf/jpg method.

The only thing is, what's to stop someone using Snipping Tool and then adding your sig to random documents? (not a criticism, a genuine question!)
