Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed for, among other things, providing an electronic record (e.g., MICROSOFT WORD document, AUTOCAD drawing, etc.) that can be signed by 'printing' that record to a special 'virtual signature printer,' which provides the user with an intuitive, simple way of authenticating an electronic record. The “virtual signature printer” system can produce an output file (or multiple files) that can be sent to a recipient for viewing, printing, and validation. The recipient can view or print the file and, with special software, can validate the signature on the file.
