Yet Ford repeatedly insisted I print out the documents, sign them, and scan them. I tried a digital signature anyway - and they called me out on it.
Do you mean:
A) a cryptographic signature?
B) an image of your handwritten signature?
C) something else?
I think you and GP might be talking about different things.
I’ve had many instances where people insist I print, sign, scan, rather than e-sign.
I too have put an image of my signature on the pdf rather than printing; I have had those both rejected and accepted.
I don’t have a printer and have been annoyed by this insistence greatly. Enough that seeing this post filled me with glee.
You could theoretically, in some cases, run a business on nothing but verbal contracts, but you would be foolish to do so because you’d have difficulty proving anything if it were disputed.
edit: I see that I misinterpreted the parent comment. Sorry.
