Question

i need to build a system where our customers can sign a contract on the ipad or galaxy-tab of our employees.

i am a ruby-on-rails webdeveloper so it would be easist thing for me to do it as an onlineapplication.

big big questions is:
my guy says, his ipad has such a great function with the pen, that he can write/sign things.

is it possible to grab this input with a browser? like im making a drawing-canvas, and when the submits the form, the ipad generates it as an image and send it to the server?

otherwise i need to build up a native app. my guy wants to keep his ipad, so i get in trouble while every app needs to be downloaded by the appstore – means i cant develop him a app and only he can get it. right?

Answer 1

ok,
build my own formtastic input

**canvas to image** – An input plugin to use a canvas for drawings (mostly autographs). the 
drawing will be submitted to the server
