1. A method for embedding a written signature into a secure electronic document, comprising: forming a placeholder electronic document containing content to be attested to by a signature; selecting a signing individual from a signer list; placing a signature tag into the placeholder electronic document at a selected signature location, wherein the signature tag is associated with the signing individual and defines the signature location within the placeholder electronic document for the signing individual to sign; securing the placeholder electronic document to form the secure electronic document having content configured to be uneditable; and capturing a signature with a signature capture device configured to enable the signing individual to write the signature to be embedded into the secure electronic document at a location indicated by the signature tag to mimic a real world experience of signing paper documents.
