I'm currently in the process of building an application which takes advantage
of the itextsharp library.  At this point, I am trying to replicate the
Adobe watermark image that is generated behind digital signature text when
you sign a pdf document from inside of Acrobat.

The issue I'm currently having, is that the image is placed in behind the
digital signature text, however, the image is always stretched the height
and width of the digital signature field no matter what I do to change it. 
For example:

The image is a 70 x 70 gif.

If I use this code snippet:

PdfSignatureAppearance sap = this.Stamper.SignatureAppearance;

iTextSharp.text.Image watermark =
iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(watermarklocation,
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);

sap.Image = watermark;

sap.Image.SetAbsolutePosition(0,0);

sap.Image.ScaletoFit(70,70);

sap.Image.Transparency.SetValue(30,0);


Then the image is applied to the digital signature background with no issue
and the transparency is applied correctly.  However, the image is still
stretched to the width and height of the digital signature field.  The same
code works if applied to an itext image type outside of the
PdfSignatureAppearance declaration but it's like once that image is declared
inside of the PdfSignatureAppearance it's height and width variables are
determined only by the digital signature field itself.

Thanks for the advice/help ahead of time.
