To use the Signpad module you need to consider these things:

-A running InterFormNG installation with either a test license or permanent license, which enables the InterSigning module.

-A compatible signpad from Step-over. This can be purchased via Interform or InterForm business partners.

-A PC running windows, which is able to connect to the machine, that is running InterFormNG.

-The PC should be connected with the Signpad. The signpad connects via USB.

-The PC need to run an InterForm Signpad Client.

-In order to run the Signpad Client the windows PC must have java (JRE) 1.7 or 1.8 installed.

-You need to configure a port number via which the windows PC can connect with the machine running InterFormNG.

-You need to enable the signpad as an option in InterFormNG and activate it e.g. via the workflow.

-Only PDF files generated by InterFormNG can be used for signing immediately, when generated by InterFormNG.

-The signed PDF file can be archived, emailed or printed. Printing is however only supported for postscript output. Please notice the limitations for postscript output compared to PCL output.

-The area (box) for signing must be defined in the template, that you are merging with.

-It takes a few extra seconds for the processor service to get a connection with the signpads after starting up. So you need to wait for the signpad to connect before you can start signing PDF files. If you do not wait the first input xml files will fail with an error.

-Output configuration (overriding the printer set in the workflow) is not used for signpads.
