Hi Sally Our learning support department scans in form 8's which are then saved to a support database. Our IT techies have found a programme (I think it's called Nemo PDF to Word) which allows me to paste in my additional information e.g signature and exam board info. I am then able to re-save the form 8 as a PDF file and email it to the exam board. They have accepted my name typed in the signature box and haven't requested that I use an electronic signature. As well as cutting down on a hell of a lot of paper it has also reduced postage costs, the number of forms getting 'misplaced' by exam boards and the response time has also reduced. Hope this helps :) Gemma Exams Assistant Telephone: 01827 304316 Extension: 2215 From: The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Graham, Sally Sent: 09 April 2013 17:02 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Digital signatures on Exams Form 8 Hi everyone We are trying to work smarter and ask our Access Ability (learning support department) to scan the Form 8 and evidence to us instead of paper copies we then scan over to the awarding bodies for access arrangement applications. However if JCQ could enable us to copy and paste a digital signature on the form without a password protection they could then email it straight to us and we can then send it direct to the awarding body. Has anyone managed to do this with the form? If so could you be so kind as to send us the template so we can do this now?
