I'm replying off-list. I think that this might be on the list of
forbidden features (one would have to pay to adobe to be able to allow
signing document with TeX).

I'm not sure about it, but I'm tempted to believe that digitally
signing PDFs might be one of "forbidden" functionality that requires
you to buy a licence for Acrobat. Martin Schröder usually posts this
link:

I have found this article, but I'm not sure if it is really legal:

Maybe we need a FAQ entry about PDF features somewhere on wiki (or at
any other place).
