Electronic document signing?
In my new consulting project, I have been doing due diligence on a company's contracts. The CEO of this company electronically signs all his contracts with DocuSign. Does anyone here use this? It seems kind of neat, but I'm unsure of the drawbacks.

The last house I bought, every single document in the listing/offer/counter-offer/disclosures/etc. processes were done electronically.

Most large American businesses use some form of electronic signature / tracking for all important documents. Unless there is a specific statute requiring an ink pen in the hand of the signatory, there is no reason, it's less secure and less accountable.

Not sure how this compares with Adobe Reader, but I find it very helpful.

I need a way to make it look like an old name/date stamp (and I have already downloaded the STAMP font, which is great) and then allows me to overlay a scanned signature.
The stamp would be something like this:
John Smith
JAN 22 2013
ORG Name
And then the scanned signature overlaid between the name and the date. I can do most of that with Word, using the STAMP font, then SnagIt to capture the stamp, then using Acrobat and the Stamp feature to insert the stamp. But then trying to overlay the scanned signature doesn't look right.
Ideas?
