Real digital signatures don't work with setAbsolutePosition(), so I guess you're talking about a fake signature: some image put as an image on a PDF. (Fake in the sense that it hasn't any legal value, as opposed to a real digital signature that is accepted as a valid signature by many countries.) > Is there some way I can > programmatically figure out where a signature line is in a PDF > document If you work with a real digital signature, then there's a digital signature field. It's easy to get that real signature field. If there's no signature field (nor any other field that marks the spot), then you can't find out where that line is. > and set those absolute position values without knowing what > the X and Y coordinates are?

Use a field to mark the spot. Don't give the impression that putting an image of a signature is valid.
