I need to either scan a signed document or capture a signature and create a
pdf with the signature in place, all this in vfp.
Has anyone had experience with some signature capture device?
What is a good device that gives a high resolution image, what are the
programming steps to achieve this with vfp
I hope the call to the capture device simply creates a jpg or other image
file that I could include in a report.
Thanks Jerry

If you use an XP Tablet device it is fairly simple using the standard Windows API's.

We are using Topaz TS 460 signature pads and they work great in VFP9.
It creates a image file that we print on the report.

** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice. This statement is added to the messages for those lawyers who are too stupid to see the obvious.
The discussion earlier this week about signature capture presents an
interesting topic.
I'd like to look into adding signature capture to my inventory control
application, but the use of a non-portable signature pad connected to a
desktop computer (running Windows) is certainly doable and an option,
but it would be a HUGE plus to be able to capture the signature on a
tablet-type of device. iPads and Android pads are not "Fox friendly" in
any way shape form or fashion. I guess one option would be a laptop with
a signature pad via USB.
Does Microsoft currently provide/sell any kind of a tablet OS that
supports hardware that will run VFP9 AND provide a stylus interface for
signature capture on the device's screen? Can anyone point me in the
right direction? I guess the "VFP" requirement pretty much dictates the
use of Windows on whatever hardware.
In addition to using this in a warehouse environment where the customer
signs off as they take possession of a product, it would also be a huge
plus for use by service and repair technicians who travel to your home
or business. And in that same scenario, such an ability to capture a
signature would also be useful for a POS CCard signature (although there
are workarounds.) I'm thinking that something like the UPS drivers use
is pretty much the holy grail in this scenario.
Thanks for all suggestions!
Mike Copeland

You could use signatures, but you could also use a swipe card that is assigned to each authorized employee. Just as good as a signature and harder to forge.

I've talked to them about employee cards before (we already have a VFP
timeclock app and I've already got a magnetic card reader option) but
what they want to capture is the customer's signature. Kind of a "sign
here to agree that you agree to getting what you got." thing.

Maybe look at getting a tablet? I think they still sell those...
Not sure if the Samsung series 7 slate can work with a pen, but is has touch screen so in theory it should but I can't find anything online that says one way or the other. I've seen demos with them running Windows 8, but it comes with Win 7 Home Premium out of the box.
It is pretty cool, but rather pricey. Depending on what size SDD it comes with, and if want 3g or wifi, it is 1000 plus...

Thanks Lou. I've never looked at MSoft tablet technology, but my
understanding is that (like a lot of good things) MSoft has abandoned
it? I wonder if Win 8 incorporates any kind of touch-technology (with
supporting hardware.)

I misunderstood, I thought it was the employees signatures you were collecting.
