I actually do not remember being confronted with such a signature fields
myself.

In the case at hand I read that ghostscript, a tool not completely unheard
of, created such fields. Thus I thought they might be interesting to support
in iText. Eventually I saw, though, that gs created those fields based on
some handwritten postscript. This situation makes it quite a lot less
interesting to have support for such fields.

If on the other hand there are more interesting tools / combinations of
tools creating such fields...

Actually iText already loops over all the pages when collecting fields.
Therefore I thought it might not mean too much trouble... But as mentioned
above, these fields should only be supported if there is ample reason to do
so.
