[Koha] e signature & Koha

[David Cook]

Hi Erlanda,

I'm curious how you've been trying to "insert" e-signatures produced by the WACOM device. Out of the box, I don't think there's a way to arbitrarily attach files/PDFs to user accounts.

A couple years ago someone raised an enhancement request https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33985 but it hasn't progressed. 

There's privacy/security issues that come from capturing and storing signatures. But you could potentially pay someone to develop a Koha plugin to do this job.

Dear List,
to make the process of circulation easier and faster, to reduce the usage of paper we had obtained a WACOM e-signature device and our patrons are signing on the pdf version of the slip. All our attempts to "insert" e-signature produced by WACOM directly into Koha failed!
Can anybody advice us is it possible to connect such devices directly with Koha?

Thanks,
Erlanda
