Electronic signature on Ububtu 16.04

  • 772

Is it possible to electronically sign a document (I mean sign it without printing and scanning the whole file) under Ubuntu 16.04? And how do I install it?

EDIT To be clear I want to electronically sign my document not digitally: I want to put my actual signature on the document witout having to print and scannign it

    1. Put your signature on a blank piece of paper.
    2. Scan the paper.
    3. Use GIMP to create a .png file with your signature in black on a transparent background.
    4. Export the .png file and save it in a secure location.

    Now every time you need to sign a document, open it in GIMP or LibreOffice Draw. Also open the signature file and insert it in the desired place.
