Signatures with IBM tablet pc

I just got a Lenovo IBM x60t tablet pc with Ultimate x64.

By chance I was wondering if someone might know how to do this:

We offer services in our company that require a signature. I got this computer so that I could have customers sign the agreement electronically on the computer so that we could email them a copy instantly and not have to keep track of all the paperwork.

I've created a form that I can use in acrobat pro and word. It's a text input field on the form. But when I go to "fill out the form" or whatever, it only allows keyboard text input. Is there a drawing pad I can use or a specific signature line?

Hopefully someone knows how to do this!

Well, since it seems nobody knows how to do this, I show you what I've come up with. There are two good ways. I'm using microsoft infopath to create the form and insert an "ink picture control". this stores the signature as a .gif along with all the form data the customer fills out. the other way to create a form in acrobat and use the ink annotations toolbar to write on top of the pdf. there's no way to export the form data though.
hopefully this helps someone because it took me forever to get this going.

An electronic signiture is not legally binding. If someone was to steal your electronic signature then all havock could be brought down on you.
I would only advise an electronic signature on forms such as memos and letters.
You can store your signature as a picture format then using word use add picture. Take the wordwrap off the picture and put it at the botton of the letter.

There are certain things you can do to make it legal. And it's easy to protect documents with basic software. I would list the ways to make it legal but it ways so much from state to state to country that it would take up all my time.
