Statements Of Work and Descriptions and Specs for, eh?)

A hand written look-a-like signature in a particular signatory block.

Did you check how the Acrobat behaves? You can put the signature image
there. This is how I sign the invoices - I use both the signature image for
printing and the digital signature to prove the authenticity of the
signature image and of the document.

With PDFBlackbox you can do this too. In fact you can customize the
signature appearance in any way you like.

With best regards,

By "look-a-like, I mean that the signature needs to be a duplicate of the
Signer's handwriting. The only way I know to do this (easily) is by using a
digital pad, then having that signature inserted.

This is what I am saying about. Scan a signature into the graphic file and
insert the graphic file.
