Browser Extension

The free Draw To Sign browser extension lets Remote Signature Pad draw your signature straight into a signature box on a web page, in Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Install it from the Chrome Web Store, or add it manually from a download.

Before you start

• Install and run the Remote Signature Pad computer app (version 1.0.2 or newer) and connect your phone with Wi-Fi or USB. Bluetooth is not supported with the extension.
• In the computer app, open Settings. Under Server Configurations keep Enable HTTP server ticked with HTTP Port 5000, and under General Settings keep Browser Extension ticked. Both are on by default.

Way 1: Install from the Chrome Web Store (recommended)

1. Open the Draw To Sign Browser Extension page on the Chrome Web Store. You can also click Get Browser Extension in the computer app (Settings > General Settings).
2. In Chrome, click Add to Chrome, then Add extension.
3. In Microsoft Edge, the first time you will see a bar saying Allow extensions from other stores. Click Allow, then Add to Chrome and Add extension.
4. Click the puzzle-piece icon in the browser toolbar and pin Draw To Sign so it is easy to find.

Way 2: Manual install from a download

Use this if you cannot or prefer not to use the Chrome Web Store.

1. Download the extension (Draw-To-Sign-Browser-Extension-1.2.zip).
2. Fully extract the zip (right-click > Extract All) to a folder you will keep, such as Documents\Draw-To-Sign-Browser-Extension. Do not delete this folder afterwards, because the browser loads the extension from it.
3. Open the extensions page: type chrome://extensions in Chrome, or edge://extensions in Edge, and press Enter.
4. Switch on Developer mode (top right in Chrome, left side in Edge).
5. Click Load unpacked and choose the extracted Draw-To-Sign-Browser-Extension folder, the one that contains manifest.json.
6. Draw To Sign now appears in the list. Pin it from the puzzle-piece icon if you like.

Your browser may show a reminder about developer-mode extensions when it starts. This is normal for manually added extensions. To update later, download the new zip, replace the folder contents, and click the refresh icon on the extension card.

How to use it

1. Open the web page that has the signature box and make sure your phone is connected to the computer app.
2. Click the signature box to choose it. It turns green and shows a target icon.
3. Sign on your phone. The signature is drawn straight into the box. Your mouse is not moved and the cursor is not held.

To change the port, the red borders, the green overlay, the clear button or the drawing area, open chrome://extensions (or edge://extensions), click Details on Draw To Sign, then Extension options. The port must match the HTTP Port in the computer app (5000 by default).

Which signing method wins?

A Saved Signature Window in front takes priority over the extension. The extension takes priority over the Intelligent Signature Field Tracker. Manual Sign beats all of them. See General Settings for details.

Quick check if it does not work

• With the computer app running, open http://localhost:5000/health in your browser. A short text reply means the app side is ready. No reply means Enable HTTP server is off, the port is different, or the app is not running.
• Check that the phone is connected by Wi-Fi or USB (not Bluetooth), and that Browser Extension is ticked in General Settings.
• Reload the web page after installing the extension.

Privacy

The extension collects no data. It only talks to the Remote Signature Pad computer app on the same computer (localhost).
