On the work we have done something similar. PDFBox support image
creation.

We have also created an option to add empty signature fields that can
be signed later. So a customer can select in the first process the
place were the visual signature should be placed and give the document
to the persons that should sign it. 

The swing component also shows existing signature fields and make it
selectable for signing. All is done with transparent rectangles without
a preloaded an image.

The rectangle was also adjustable and had two text fields with the
size in mm.

If you can manage it, why not :-) I know this was a annoying process
placing the images and recalculate the size to match the document. 

One problem we had was with landscape pages. So the page was flipped
and the coordinates need to be moved. Thanks god we finished this
project.
