I actually make it happen with 1.8.x. It was a bit dirty because I had to write
my own addSignature() function.
But now with 2.0.0 some setter disappear and the function addSignature() have
radically changed.
At this point, I succeed to move and resize the PDRectangle of the visual
signature but when I want to set the correct PDSignatureField an exception
occurs.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: not

Subject: Re: Fill an existing visible signature field with visual signature
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.
