For what it is worth, I tried and tried. I worked diligently to make this happen for a long time, and then when 1.8 transitioned to 2.0 I tried again. It never worked. It failed to work in a variety of different ways but I never got it to work.
For my own purposes I did not actually need a valid digital signature. I only needed the visual signature. The digital signature was not required it was just a nice to have. So I just use PDF drawing commands to draw the signature on the right place on the page using the location of the signature field rectangle as a guide. That probably fixes no one's problem but my own, but if it does then I am glad to help. But I can tell you that I put way more hours than I should into making this work and it never did.
