Handwritten signature
Rationale
[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2016.1 PE]
This component allows you to capture a signature from people filling out the form, similar to what you would do if you had a paper form, except of course:
- The signature is stored digitally.
- On a desktop, the signature is drawn with a mouse or other pointing device, while one a mobile it is drawn with the user's finger or, more rarely, a stylus.

Usage
In Form Builder, to add a signature control to your form, click on Handwritten signature on the left sidebar. You can then add a label to the component (e.g. "Applicant signature") and a hint (e.g. "You are hereby accepting the Acme application terms and conditions"), as necessary.
