Here is a handy tip from the NY Times.
"If you have access to a scanner, writing your name solidly in dark
ink in on white paper and scanning the page is one way to go. Once you
save the image file of your signature, you can insert it into Word
documents, PDF files or as an image in your e-mail program’s signature
area. (When saving the scanned file, choosing the black-and-white bitmap
or PNG formats may result in a crisper signature, but the JPG format is
more common.)
Image-editing programs like Adobe Photoshop have tools for cleaning up and enhancing your scanned signature, as demonstrated in this tutorial. Adobe TV has a video that shows how to use its Adobe Acrobat software to do the same thing. If you have a Mac with a built-in Webcam and at least OS X 10.7 (Lion), you can also use the Preview app to create a digital signature file you can use to sign documents.
If
you do not have a scanner — but have a smartphone — a free or
inexpensive document-scanning app can capture an image of your
signature; many of these can also convert photos of documents into PDF
files or images. Some apps can also directly digitize your signature, so
you may want to browse around your phone’s online store to see what
solution works best for you."
