business forms, or to capture onscreen signatures or line drawings.

A signature capture is a grayscale image of a signature on paper or
other business form. To use signature capture in your applications,
use the SignatureCapture components in the Data Collection
Resource Kit.
Ink capture is the process of saving an onscreen image, such as a
signature or simple line drawing, to a file. To use ink capture in your
applications, use the InkCapture components in the Mobile Gadgets
Resource Kit.
Both Resource Kits are part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL)
which you can download from the Intermec web site at
www.intermec.com/idl.
