Hi :) I've never even seen a Topaz signature device. The closest we usually get is to print our a document, sign it, scan it back in as Pdf!!! NOT very efficient! My route would be to scan in just my own and the crucial other signatures as png images and then place them in the relevant

Greetings, I have been reading this thread, but since I do not use Ubuntu, I have no direct experience to add to this discussion. However, I may make one suggestion: check the age of your video card and computer. I use Slackware Linux and I have had KDE4 (QT-based) and xfce (GTK-based)

I may have forgotten to mention that I have OpenOffice 4.0.x and LibreOffice 4.1.x on the same computers. That may me an issue, I'm thinking now. I've set up a couple of users as a test case- one with OpenOffice 4.0.x only, and one with LibreOffice 4.1.x only. And I also should have mentioned
