Many organizations are choosing to go paperless
by using digital signatures and electronic forms. Unfortunately,
the cost to setup in-house servers is out of reach for some
organizations. To offer an alternative to installing form
servers, FormRouter Inc. delivers an online service called
FormRouter.NET.
FormRouter.NET facilitates the creation, hosting and retrieval
of electronic forms with digital signatures. This slashes
the cost and simplifies the task of collecting legally binding
agreements.
Using nothing but a FormRouter Account and partner services,
digital signature solutions can be built in hours.

Option 1: Username & Password Signatures
Add one digital signature to a PDF form (works with Adobe Reader)
If your organization is looking to capture a PDF form with one digital signature, this solution may be for you. FormRouter provides a system for managing usernames and passwords that can be used to digitally sign PDF forms.
Here is how it works:
Create a username and password for a specific form user
Contact the form user with their username and password
Form user fills out a PDF form(s) and enters their username and password
Digitally signed form (and data) is transmitted to your database securely
Optional: Copy of signed form is sent to the signer and or others
Option 2: Hand Written Digital Signatures
Hand written digital signatures are electronic
signatures created by physically signing on a hardware capture
surface. Interlink Electronics® offers
a device called an ePad for this purpose. Using Interlink
Electronics software, it is also possible to sign the surface
of a tablet PC. This technology captures the unique qualities
of an individual's signing style and stores that information
in a signed document.
Supported Formats
IBM® Workplace Forms™ (PureEdge)
Adobe Reader® (With Reader Extensions)
Adobe® Acrobat®
Microsoft® Word®
Microsoft Excel®
Hand written digital signatures are a perfect
technology when you have a group of unknown people who will
need to sign electronic documents. They are used widely in
finance, insurance, real estate and medical applications.

forms with ePad signature capabilities.
Option 3: Hosted Electronic Digital Signatures
Hosted electronic digital signatures consist
of a locally installed digital signing certificate on a PC
and a hosted online server that can validate the integrity
of digitally signed documents.
Hosted electronic digital signatures are often used inside
of large organizations for internal authorization. The digital
certificates can also be used to control access to web services.
