You do not seem to have registered with the mailing list. Please do this to
be read by more iText users and developers.

First of all, you do not SIGN, you encrypt, which is quite different.

Secondly, for problems like this it is very importent to supply a sample
PDF. Here we can only guess.

I would assume that page numbers in the document are generated dynamically
in a way very much akin to filling in form fields. Thus, by forbidding form
field fill-ins you also forbid page number generation. This merely is an
assumption, though.
