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.
