You can change the signature that is inserted at the end of an e-mail message via the settings menu or “Settings” iPad. If iPad stores multiple email accounts, you can assign separate signatures to each account. You can also add HTML signatures with images and links by pre-generating them on a computer and adding them to iPad. If you want to add a manual (handwritten) signature, search for a signature maker app by entering the search keyword "signature" in the iPad App Store.
