Signature pad compatible with MacBook Pro

Did anyone ever find a good solution and find a signature pad that works with MacBook Pro? I searched and searched and tried one called XP PEN. It worked for awhile but doesn't work any more. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I sell insurance products and do electronic applications that require an actual signature.

You can create a signature by taking a picture of it, and make the back ground transparent, alpha channel.

. Preview can make alpha channel, and most any photo editing app.


You copy and past onto your document.


Watch some videos if you are struggling—makes no difference if it is pdf or not.


Here is the first 3 that popped up on google.

There is nothing special about an alpha channel and copy & pasting your signature to a PDF no matter what PDFeditor you are using. A special "signature pad" has never been necessary. You are not re-inventing the wheel here.
