Hello,

I am using iText for just a short while now and don't have any previous
experience with signing and PDF's in general. So please bear with me when i
confuse some terminology or someting else. I would be glad if someone tells
me my errors.

I am generating a signature in a preexisting PDF, but the information in the
signature-field is smaller than i would expect.
(see attachment test_for_signatures_signed.pdf for an example)

There is enough space in the signature-field that the font size could be
twice as high!

If I create the signature with
PdfSignatureAppearance.SignatureRenderNameAndDescription, the three text
lines will use the whole vertical space (of course there would be the name
of the signer before the three lines).
(see attachment test_for_signatures_signed2.pdf for an example)

Is there any way i can change the font-size of the signature-field, or let
iText fit the text in there on its own?

I already tried to alter the PdfTemplate of the "Layer 2", but wasn't able
to recreate a signature like this, since there is no way to use
newline-characters in a PdfTemplate.
(i found out that altering the font of this PdfTemplate results in an empty
PdfTemplate, so i tried to fill the PdfTemplate on my own and thought about
just recreating the three lines)


You can have a look at the sourcecode here http://pastebin.com/m5ed4f6e3

Thanks in advance
Markus
