Create PDF Documents Using Pure JavaScript

Just Noticed a pure JavaScript library to generate PDF document today from twitter.

jsPDF is an open-source library for generating PDF documents using nothing but Javascript. You can use it in a Firefox extension, in Server Side Javascript and with Data URIs in some browsers.
More examples and features to come. Get in touch if you’d like to help out! :)
See Demo
Client-side demo works best in Safari or iPhone Safari. Also works Firefox 3 on Windows and Opera. IE support on the way.

Digital Signature PDF Documents With Free Software

A digital signature is like a paper-based signature – each giving you a method for adding a unique identifier to a document. Both provide you with an easy way to show a person signed a particular document at a particular time, but a digital signature goes further as it can ensure that the document content has not been tampered with after it was signed. In addition, the document version history can let recipients see when a document was signed and see when any changes were made to it. This revision history is encrypted and stored inside the PDF and can be viewed at anytime via the Signatures pane.

To digitally sign a PDF document, you must have a digital ID, and to verify other people’s signatures, you must first share your digital IDs and add each other to your Trusted Contacts list.

Most Digital Signature software are not free, but I will introduce you some free software developed in JAVA and DOTNET with the power of iText and iTextSharp.
