| 1468180 | 2020-04-15 02:25:00 | I do not have a true digital signature but some parties are willing to accept a scanned signature from me. I mean I sign a piece of white paper, and take a photo with my phone.-jpg format. When I want to use it I insert it at the relevant space n MS Word then convert the MS Word docx to Pdf. (so that the average person cannot "uplift" my photo signature) Even though I have tried cropping and lightening with various programmes e.g. Paint - the background behind he signature remains a light grey in both the docx and pdf formats Does anyone know how I can remove the colouring from the "fill" background so hat my signature appears on a white background rather than shaded light grey? |

| 1468181 | 2020-04-15 03:15:00 | Maybe use Irfanview to convert the Signature plus background to black and white then try your method. There is a 64 bit version as well on the same site, find using search, probably get the plugins as well. 32 bit version: www.majorgeeks.com 32 bit version: www.majorgeeks.com |

| 1468182 | 2020-04-15 04:36:00 | How often do you do this? Whenever I have had to sign something, I print it, sign the paper and scan the document back into the PC and email it. |

| 1468183 | 2020-04-15 05:45:00 | Its actually quite easy, what you want is a signature with transparent background, did on mine, its handy for filling out PDF's, add the signature in and when its sent it looks exactly as if I had actually signed it. www.pdfautomationstation.com If you get white areas in the sig, try changing the setting to Colour. 10304 Most photo editing software has similar options. |

| 1468184 | 2020-04-15 06:31:00 | Not sure what the PDF software we use at work is but I thought it was just adobe software. In any case it has a fountain pen icon for signing and lets you import a jpg, which it remembers. I signed a bit of white paper, scanned it, imported it into the PDF software, and now I can sign whatever I want electronically and it looks real. As for people not being able to uplift it from a PDF, sorry easy as anything. If you can see it on a screen you can copy it. Signatures really don't mean much these days if supplied electronically but it's better than nothing. If I want to I could uplift my bosses signature on tender documents and start signing them myself, good way to get fired but easily done. |

| 1468185 | 2020-04-23 10:14:00 | Thanks for tips but I do not have a scanner. I normally go to Warehouse Stationery to get documents scanned -Covid puts an end to that for now. I also only have Adobe Reader DC not Pro. I had originally signed in black pen on a very white piece of paper ,and took a jpg image with phone camera. I then used paint 4.2.10 to crop it to better size. I did try saving the jpg to png without success. I did try Lunar to see if jpg could also be effective -no joy. |

| 1468186 | 2020-04-23 20:28:00 | Once we are released from home detention you could try your black pen white paper trick and scan it to file on a USB stick at the Warehouse Stationery. You could then manipulate that image however you wish. | CliveM (6007) | ||

What version of WIndows are you using, ?? the inbuilt paint has a option to save to png. File - Save as - Png 10320 If yours doesn't then go online and search for jpg to png, theres lots of free online converters, heres the 1st on a google search image.online-convert.com |

| 1468188 | 2020-04-24 00:06:00 | Draw your signature on a piece of paper, take a photo, convert it to black and white, no grey-scale. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1468189 | 2020-04-24 07:22:00 | If you post a photo in the thread of your signature on a piece of paper I will crop it and convert to black and white picture, will also try to make one with a transparency background. I will post back up as png's if you wish. |
