How do I create hand written signatures on the trackpad?

I have an iMac 27" with Retina Display and also added a trackpad. I saw somewhere that you can create a hand written signature using the trackpad but I don't know how to do it. The closest thing I saw was in Preview but it didn't have an option to save the signature.

Thank You!
This solution will work using the camera but I read somewhere that using the trackpad you can capture the real signature (and indeed it does in Preview). I still don't know how to save this file in Preview to use in a PDF or Pages document. Also the trackpad only records a signature image using one's finger which turns out to be way too large to use. When I try to use a pen (no ball out) or an unsharpened pencil, it will not work. This would provide a signature that is the size of my real signature.
So thank you for the answer using the iMac camera (I saw this in Preview) but how do you do it with the Track Pad without using your finger?
PS - I'm just learning to use Apple's Yosemite OS. I have Parallels on my iMac and it runs Windows 7. I have used a PC my entire life and I now want to use just the Apple OS but am not familiar with a lot of it. I am going to One-to-One sessions this year (had my first "lesson" a week ago).

  • In Adobe X Pro, how do I create a digital signature in my document so that my receiver is able to sign it electronically.

    In Adobe X Pro, how do I create a digital signature in my document so that my receiver is able to sign it electronically.

    If the other person will be using Reader, you should first add a digital signature field and then Reader enable the form. In Acrobat 10 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    to get into form editing mode. You'd then select the signature field tool to add a signature field.
    Once you have the document finalized, Reader-enable the document by selecting: File > Save As > Reader-Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    being sure to save to a new file so you don't overwrite the original. If you don't Reader-enable, Reader users won't be able to digitally sign.

  • How do I create a new calendar for the current year, using last years calendar's birthday's/photos and comments from the lower pages?

    Each year for the past 5 years I make a family calendar and send copies to all he family members around the globe.  I hate that I have to recreate all the birthdays and special occasions from scratch, and re-drag all the photos onto these dates, in the lower half of the page of each month on the new calendar.  How can I create a new calendar for the current year and port all of these photos/comments into the new calendar from last years calendar, to save having to redo all this work!!  I am not talking about the upper half page of the photos only...I am referring to the calendar page of each month.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
    Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.

  • How can i create a new item in the app "health"?

    how can i create a new item in the app "health"? I need a field for documentation of "Waist-to-height ratio", exactly for "circumference".
    It's a matter of common knowledge, that the Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has more significance then the Body-Mass-Index (BMI).

    If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

  • How do I create a Public Group on the Calendar Server?

    How do I create a Public Group on the Calendar Server?
    <P>
    Anyone can create Private Groups or Member Only Groups. You must be given
    administrative rights to create Public Groups on the Calendar Server. The
    Calendar Server Admin (SYSOP) can give anyone rights to create Public Groups by
    using the uniadmrights tool.
    <P>
    Go to /users/unison/bin/
    and run the uniadmrights
    tool. Some sample syntax:
    <P>
    To list all users with administrative rights:<P>
    % uniadmrights -ls -host yourhostname
    <P>
    To give John Smith, a user on node 10000, rights to administer Public Groups:<P>
    % uniadmrights -e "S=Smith/G=John" -add -pgrp -n 10000
    <P>
    In Calendar Server 4.0, you also have the option of using the Admin Server GUI
    to assign Administrative
    rights (instead of using the command-line method) by going to User Management,
    Administration Rights.
    <P>
    With the proper administrative rights, log into the Calendar Client. Go to Options,
    Manage Groups to create a new group. Choose PUBLIC from the dropdown window,
    add your users and/or resources and click OK to create the Public Group which
    can be seen by all users on the local Calendar Server.

    Re: Configure DNS - OS X Server Next Steps
    Feb 13, 2011 6:36 AM (in response to Jimbooooooo)
    You're setting up internal DNS services, you referenced your ISP DNS servers and you should not have, and now those servers have no translations for your hosts. This is a common misconfiguration.
    See [configuring DNS on Mac OS X Server|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436] for how to set up your internal DNS server.
    And if there are any references to your ISP DNS servers here (within your client settings, within your server settings, your Airport settings, etc), then you're usually going to have DNS and connectivity problems. You're running a server now, so you'll be running your own services, and (particularly because of NAT here) referencing only your own DNS server(s).
    You may be setting up external DNS (if and when you need that), but that should happen after you set up your internal DNS. The above article has a link to setting up external DNS, when you get around to that, if/when you need in-bound connections into your LAN.
