(OP)
What's the best method of signing electronic docs? If I want to save a report in the lap top, convert to PDF, and email to client, how do I sign it?

Really, you should try it out, go to tools, commenting, custom stamp.
If you want it really fancy, you need to make the stamp as GIF and set the white as transparent. That way you can use it even if the pdf background is not white.

Of course even hand signatures can be forged but you'd like to think it was more difficult.
RE: signing electronic docs
I worked for one airline that developed an electronic authoring and routing system for paperless development of Engineering Orders.
You couldn't access the system without logging in. It used electronic signatures.
Authoring a document was really populating fields in a data base.
If you rendered and printed a document before it was approved, the printed pages had the words DRAFT on them.
There was no way to get a non Draft version of an EO out of the system until it was approved electronically. The signatures typed, entered by the system.
The FAA approved the system. There were some very good points and some very bad points.
I’m certain the people that put it together didn’t really understand the long term support issues when they developed it. It worked though.

What was the expected retention period of the documents. My company is looking at electronic docs control and would also have to placate the FAA with the methodology. One issue is how to retain the records for the service life of the airframe plus a bit for the legal beagles. Say 70 years or so.
