    Today in the USA is our annual day Thanksgiving celebration. One of the many things I'm thankful for are these weekly videos that do so much to further my knowledge. I even more thankful when of those occasions when Ms Gharani takes a moment to reply to a comment I've posted. Especially considering my comments tend to be irreverent in their nature. Hope everyone has much to be thankful for in their lives.

    Hi Liela. Great video and very useful tips. I created one in Paint 3D by typing and then choosing a script font. Couldn't really draw one very well. Unchecked Resize Image With Canvas to create tight borders around the signature and then made transparent, as you instructed. Worked perfectly. Now I can insert a signature easily into almost any document. Thanks for the great tips :)) Thumbs up!!

    Great tutorial as always. I recently had to do this and did it in a more complicated way. :)
    However, I really do not see how such an electronic signature can have any practical value. Anybody with a copy of the document "signed" by me can take my signature from the file and use it however they want. The only real signature is a digital signature which uses cryptographic algorithms to verify the identity of the signer and the integrity of the document.

      Of course you can use this method to counterfeit documents or steal an identity.
      There is nothing to prevent that from happening, that's why usually the person, who accepts an electronic signature takes the risk of being played.
      (Most firms try to get an ID or simular to verify yourself - faking this would be most likely a crime).

    • @Dennis30121
      @Dennis30121 3 роки тому +2

      It is typically very difficult to replicate a digital signature if done correctly as the user will need the corresponding 'private key' that was created by the algorithm when the signature was originally created. The user will require both a 'Private key' and 'Public key' in order to replicate it, which only the original signatory would have since the algorithm only shares the 'Public Key' with the document.
      If the signature is however drawn scanned copied and pasted onto a document then it can be misused, that is why the signature needs to be made via acrobat reader or similar software legitimately.
