The Easiest Way To Sign
Documents!
Overview
Sign-It! begins
with Apropos Software converting your personal signature into a
smooth, scalable TrueType
font. By using a TrueType font your
signature scales to any size and prints (or faxes) at the maximum
resolution of your printer (or fax machine). Once your signature is
captured as a TrueType font, using your signature font is quick and
easy with the Sign-It!
Signature Server. The Sign-It!
Signature Server uses the power of Microsoft's Object Linking and
Embedding (OLE) technology to create, insert and provide security
for your signature.
Without the
Sign-It! Signature Server, the task of signing a document is awkward
and cumbersome. Using just a signature font requires remembering the
character(s) for the signature, selecting the text, and changing the
size and family of the font, every time you need to sign a document!
The Sign-It! Signature Server greatly simplifies the process by
remembering all the necessary signature font information. When you
need to sign a document simply use the Insert Object command in your
Windows application and pick Apropos' Sign-It! and you are done. The
steps to sign a document are the same for all Windows Applications
(virtually all applications support OLE). Sign-It! also includes macros
for popular word processing packages to further simplify the
insertion of your Sign-It! signature.
The Sign-It! Signature
Server also provides signature security and customizable text (e.g.
name, title, company) in the Title Block. The signature security
feature controls the use of the Sign-It! Signature Server via
password control. Also, each Sign-It! signature embeds a security
identifier which can be later verified for proper authorized use of
the Sign-It! signature.

Questions and Answers
Will
Sign-It! work on my computer?
Sign-It! will work on
any computer that supports Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me, Window NT
4.0, or Windows 2000/XP. Sign-It! requires less than 2MB of hard
disk space.
What
software applications will work with Sign-It!
Virtually all
applications will work with Sign-It!. For the greatest ease and
benefit Sign-It! works best with applications that support
Microsoft's Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). Nearly all word
processing, spreadsheet and graphics programs support OLE (e.g. MS
Word, MS Works, WordPerfect For Windows, AmiPro, MS Excel, Lotus
1-2-3, CorelDraw, etc.). For the rare non-OLE applications, Sign-It!
can also be used with the Windows Cut and Paste operation or by
selecting the signature font directly.
What
are the advantages to using a TrueType signature font instead of a
scanned signature?
Besides the very
important high quality and scalability benefits of using a TrueType
signature font, a TrueType signature prints faster and is more
compact than a scanned signature. Scanned signatures are fixed at a
specific resolution (e.g. 200 dpi) and typically occupy 100KB. The
large size of scanned signatures takes longer to print and causes
the file size of each document with your signature to grow by at
least the size of the scanned signature (e.g. 100KB). TrueType
signature fonts are very compact (typically less than 5KB),
resulting in faster printing and compact documents.
Can I
fax my order form and signature to you to save time?
No. Unfortunately the
quality of a faxed signature is not good enough to produce a high
quality TrueType signature font.
Why
do you need a font name on the order form?
Your personal signature
font is stored in its own font file. The name you specify will be
the file name for the font and the font name that appears in the
Windows font menu.
How
long does it take to receive Sign-It! with my personalized signature
font?
Typically, most orders are processed
within a few business days. Normal shipping is via first class US
mail. If you require overnight delivery please call for special
shipping requirements.
