In order to avoid easy grabbing of the graphic file with the signature you 
could encrypt that page with WebCryptPro 2000 v.3.0 
(www.moonlight-software.com) and additionally protect the file with Splicer 
(which comes with WebCrypt). Though this doesn't protect against screen 
shots it makes it almost impossible for most people to download the signature.
