First of all, digital signatures offer a much higher security and convenience factor - most digital signature software out there comes with quite a few encryptions to keep your documents secure, there are digital trails that track every change that happens to the document (such as signature added/removed, or any other alteration), quite a few applications also show a progress bar of how the signing process is going, you can assign signatures, add remarks and stamps - all on your mobile device. There is no need to track the person to get their signature - just wait for them to sign. This is incredibly efficient compared to the ‘wet’ signatures. So, the main factors are security, speed, audit trails, process monitoring and the ability to do all these tasks on the go and on multiple devices/platforms.If you’re in the market for such an application that offers all these features and more, I suggest checking out signNow by Kdan. It’s intuitive, user-friendly and besides being highly secure, it’s a good fit for both small and medium-sized companies, individuals, start-ups and all kinds of businesses. While there is plenty of e-signature software out there, signNow stands out due to its well thought-out tools, well designed and user-friendly interface and it’s multi-platform, so there’s no need to compromise on anything.Disclaimer: I am part of Kdan’s team, and my answers might be a bit biased.

How can I sign a Word doc without printing it? From an absolute legalistic perspective, you probably can’t. But you can scan your signature and insert it in your doc. The ‘best’ way to do this (i.e. make it look real) is to begin with a very large signature. Take a full sheet of white paper in landscape orientation and scrawl your signature right across it, as big as possible. Use a big, thick permanent marker. (Black works best.) Now scan the result. At this point you can, if you’re worried about document size, scale the image of your signature down a bit … but not too much. You want a big sig with 600 horizontal pixels being the absolute minimum size. In Word, insert your signature via Insert -%3E Picture. Once you’ve done that, left-click anywhere on the signature. Then grab a corner with the left mouse button and scale (drag) the image down to a suitable size. Scaling down a large image helps hide speckling and aliasing, and makes the signature look much more real. By rights you should be able to scale down in a graphics package and simply import the resulting lower resolution signature image into Word. I do not know why, but this never seems to work as well (look as good) as doing the scaling in Word. Maybe it’s just me.
