General Guidelines for uploading Signature Image Files

To ensure that the signature appears correctly on NEOSYS documents, the following guidelines must be followed:

1. Signature image files should be scanned at 96 dpi for proper alignment on documents
2. Avoid margins / white spaces around the image i.e. the free blank space around the signature should be cropped out using MS Paint or similar software

Procedure for cropping signature image files in MS Paint

1. Open the Signature image file in MS Paint
2. Click on the Select Button and select the "Rectangular Selection" option
   
   
   
   
3. Using the mouse pointer, select only the signature part of the image avoiding unnecessary white spaces and click on CROP
   
   
   
   
4. Save the image (Control + S)
5. Exit MS Paint
6. Open/View the image. It should be cropped now :
