just curious, who is requiring digital signing of documents?... In fact
most gov entities in Florida will not except a digital signature at all,
they want a faxed signature... or engineering documents signed and
sealed.  Some will not even take a fax signature.. Less than one hour
ago I left Orange county permitting, they would not take anything other
than an original signature.    just curious who you have run up against.
