I manged to created a sel-signed ID and use it to sign my documents. But I am wondering for people don't care security that much, is there a easy way to just put the image of handwriting signature onto a PDF file? Maybe I should call it an electronic signature, not a digital signature?

Sure just create a button and use the PDF image of the signature as the icon but this action is not available to Reader.

As a personal asside: this just muddies the water about signatures in electronic documents to the less informed.
