ProWrite supports eSigning documents. An electronic signatures can be stored in the database and associated with a Security account to allow signing of PQRs, WPQs, and WPSs. The Signature Database can be accessed via Tools → eSignatures.
An eSignature includes an image (Jpeg, Bitmap or PNG) of the signer's handwritten signature and is intended to serve as the signer's authentication of the document. Security features must be enabled and an eSignature account associated with a Security account in order to use eSignatures. Once a signature has been added to a document, the document may no longer be edited. The signature must be removed before data can again be modified on the document.
