It is great it previews the bottom of the page. But, when I print it out it doesn't print out what it had showed at the bottom of my page in the preview before I printed it out.

Turn it upside down. The best way to compare a signature is to turn it upside down. Beware stamped signatures. Fake autographs are often mechanically reproduced. Look closely at the ink. Pull out your magnifying glass and look for visual clues. Look for "robotic" tell-tale signs.
Fanatics Authentic is your number one source for authentic and licensed sports memorabilia and collectibles! Fanatics Authentic is fully licensed by all the major sports leagues, Player Associations and Universities and delivers a 100% genuine product offering.
An autopen or signing machine is a device used for the automatic signing of a signature or autograph. The Autopen signature is made with even pressure (and indentation in the paper), which is how these machines are distinguishable from original handwriting where the pressure varies.
An item that is witnessed being signed by a Genuine COA authorized representative is issued a tamper-proof, holographic sticker with an exclusive serial number. A matching sticker can be found on the certificate of authenticity that is issued to the owner of the signed item.
A CSR or Certificate Signing request is a block of encoded text that is given to a Certificate Authority when applying for an SSL Certificate. It also contains the public key that will be included in the certificate. A private key is usually created at the same time that you create the CSR, making a key pair.
Navigate to Server Certificates. In the center menu, click the Server Certificates icon under the Security section near the bottom. Select Create a New Certificate. Enter your CSR details. Generate the Order.
CSR stands for Certificate Signing Request. A CSR contains information such your organization's name, your domain name, and your location, and is filled out and submitted to a certificate authority such as SSL.com. The information in a CSR is used to verify and create your SSL certificate.
When using self-signed certificates to enable HTTPS on your web server, any user visiting that site will have to okay and exception in their browser. Because the browser (and the user for that matter) has no way of knowing if that certificate was, in fact, issued by you.
Self-signed certificates are inherently not trusted by your browser because a certificate itself doesn't form any trust, the trust comes from being signed by a Certificate Authority that EVERYONE trusts. Your browser simply doesn't trust your self-signed certificate as if it were a root certificate.
The biggest problem with a self-signed certificate, is a man-in-the-middle attack. Even if you are 100% sure that you are on the correct website, and you completely trust the site (your email server for example), you could have someone intercept the connection and present you with their own self-signed certificate.
