As a follow up to this question we created similar signatures with Adobe
Reader and iText (both the latest versions, both able to print the
signature image on Chrome) and inspected the generated PDFs.
Looking at the AP dictionary I noticed that both write the BBox for the
/N, /FRM and /img dictionaries different than PDFBox.
For the /N and /FRM they both write [0, 0, width, height] the values
being those from the rectangle where the image is set. For /img they
calculate the scale factor relative between the image original size and
the rectangle size.
PDFBox uses by default for all three [100, 50, 0, 0] and that can be
changed with PDVisibleSignDesigner.formatterRectangleParams(byte[]).
Using that method (but passing 127 for width, because when i used 128 it
wrote -128 on the PDF), the image was sucessfully printed from Chrome,
although it does not fit the whole space, I believe because of the line
"String imgFormContent = "q " + 100 + " 0 0 50 0 0 cm /" +
imageName.getName() + " Do Q\n";" in
PDVisibleSigBuilder.injectAppearanceStreams.
And just to pinpoint the exact BBox, i downloaded PDFBox from 2.0.9
-SNAPSHOT and changed the code so that only the BBox from
PDFTemplateBuilder.createHolderForm receives the value set in
formatterRectangleParams(byte[]) and I was able to print the signature
image.
I'm curious why PDFBox uses [100, 50, 0, 0] as the BBox, because for
what i understood according to the PDF spec is that it represents the
lower left (in this case x=100, y=50) and upper right corners (x=0, y=0)
of what is being drawn.
The original and signed files that i used for this can be found at:

Just to clarify, the problem was detected with a client that prefers
to download and print their signed PDFs directly from Chrome.
On Edge the image is printed no problem and Firefox is the same as
Chrome.

Hello everyone I have a problem that is bugging me for the last
couple of days.
When we sign any PDF with a image associated and then we open the
signed PDF on Chrome and try to print from it, the image does not
appears.
I tried PDFs generated with the HelloWorld example, exported from
Word, BIRT Report Engine and AsposePdf and the result was the same.
We have applications running PDFBox 1.8.13 (legacy, soon to be
discontinued) and 2.0.7, and in both the situation occurs.
It is possible to replicate the problem with the example for visual
signature on the example directory. In any case the original file
and the signed one can be found here:

Thanks in advance for any help that you guys can give.
