Cloud and html based fax and document management system

A method of annotating web server stored document images using a web browser, said method comprising;

• loading said document images on said signature web server, creating an image layer, and transmitting an HTML copy of said image layer to a computerized device running a web browser;
• viewing said document image layer within said web browser;
• using said web browser to annotate said images, transmitting an HTML copy of said annotations to said signature web server;
• in which said at least one annotation layer comprises a text annotation layer and an image annotation layer, and in which each annotation layer and said image layer may be independently saved in a database on said signature web server;
• in which the HTML has HTML 5 canvas functionality, and further using said HTML5 canvas capability to manipulate said image layers;
• using said annotations at said signature web server to create at least one annotation layer, and combining said at least one annotation layer with said document layer producing an annotated document image;
• transmitting an HTML copy of said annotated document image to said web browser;
• using said web browser to accept said annotated document image and designate a recipient for said annotated document image;
• transmitting said annotated document image to said recipient;
• and
• wherein transmitting said annotated document image is done by merging said image layer, said text annotation layer, and said image annotation layer, and creating a PDF file of said merged layers, and transmitting said merged layers as said annotated document image.

A method of annotating computer memory stored document images using an HTML 5 capable software program, said method comprising;

• loading said document images on said signature computer memory, creating an image layer, and transmitting an HTML copy of said image layer to a computerized device running an HTML 5 capable software program;
• viewing said document image layer within the graphical user interface of said HTML 5 capable software program;
• using said HTML 5 capable software program to annotate said images, transmitting an HTML copy of said annotations to said signature computer memory;
• in which said at least one annotation layer comprises a text annotation layer and an image annotation layer, and in which each annotation layer and said image layer may be independently saved in a database on said signature computer memory;
• in which the HTML 5 capable software program has HTML 5 canvas functionality, and further using said HTML5 canvas capability to manipulate said image layers;
• using said annotations at said signature computer memory to create at least one annotation layer, and combining said at least one annotation layer with said document layer producing an annotated document image;
• transmitting an HTML copy of said annotated document image to said HTML 5 capable software program;
• using said HTML 5 capable software program to accept said annotated document image and designate a recipient for said annotated document image;
• transmitting said annotated document image to said recipient;
• and
• wherein transmitting said annotated document image is done by merging said image layer, said text annotation layer, and said image annotation layer, and creating a PDF file of said merged layers, and transmitting said merged layers as said annotated document image.
