I don't know off the top of my head, but I'd probably look into embedding COM objects.
Alternatively, take a look at LiveCycle Digital Signature. I'm investigating it a bit right now and it might be what you are looking for. There are extensions to Acrobat that allow for digital signatures. You could hook up a digital signature pad, record the image of the signature along with the typed initials to each signature area in a PDF Form and then cryptographically bind the whole document to show that there has been no tampering. The main issue after that is keeping an audit trail in place to show chain of custody.
