You can do the same by signing your name on a blank paper and scanning the image. Just paste the image in your document or e-mail.

Hi, I downloaded the software, installed, run and up to the signature pad appeared. Can't see my signature and cursor just hangs there when I press Enter. Can exit by press ESC key though. I am running Snow Leopard. Does it work with Snow Leopard?
