Abstract
The present disclosure includes methods and systems for receiving an electronic signature in an electronic document utilizing an interface area. In particular, in response to a user interaction, one or more embodiments of an electronic signature system can provide a signature overlay for capturing a signature to provide within an electronic document. For instance, an electronic signature system can detect user input of an original signature on the signature overlay and modify the original signature entered on the signature overlay so that the modified signature fits within a bounded area of an electronic document.
