Automating fake PDF signatures
Cory reports on a gem of a utility called Falsisign.
Falsisign takes in 27 variants of your signature and then feeds these sigs and your PDF to it, with the (x,y) for each signature blank as arguments, and it will produce a slightly off-center, slightly degraded new PDF that looks like you actually signed it.
Life before Falsisign:
Receive document as an attached PDFPaste a digital scan of your signature on the signature lines of the documentReturn "signed" document by emailReceive email from person who sent the document telling you that you have to actually print the PDF sign it, scan it, and email it backPrint the PDFSign itScan itEmail it backLife after Falsisign:
