Prescription signature images

I’m working up a modified C_Prescription.class.php in order to conform to state guidelines, & also working on inserting signatures.  It seems that the pdf->ezImage code is resizing the signature image to a certain size, regardless of the dimensions of the original image.  Is there an easy way to change it to something like 50% of the size it’s displaying?

Update: Disregard this, I discovered that even though the ezImage command enlarges the image somewhat, if you shrink the original PNG image down small enough it will compensate.
As a side note, the prescription forms as shipped in OpenEMR do not comply with Missouri state pharmacy regulations, not sure if this might apply in other states as well.

Can you share the specifics of the non-compliance?

There’s a requirement in Missouri state law that prescription forms have two possible signature lines, one marked “Substitution Allowed” & another marked “Dispense as Written”, & the doctor’s signature has to be on one or the other based on that individual prescription.  Simply writing the prescription as one or the other is not sufficient, the signature must be in a physically different place.  Trying to find out if this is just some strange Missouri nonsense or if there are other states this may apply to as well.
