--- Comment #14 from johnathan <testing1237a-c at yahoo.com> ---
i want to add more inputs. the thing is, when you use those squiggly line
signature image, that isn't counted anywhere

i have attached a document with a "e-sign"  that i made with
https://smallpdf.com/sign-pdf
and a link to a website that does the actual digital signatures on pdfs
https://www.tecxoft.com/samples.php

if you open these pdfs, the uploaded one and one from the link, you will see
the there is no difference in the "e-sign" from a normal pdf. the signature is
just an overlay. it has no "meaning".

the samples otoh, okular tells you "hey. this was digitally signed by this and
this person at this time". that is what are called digital signatures and these
signed files are legally valid if your certificate checks out. note, evince
document viewer does not do anything apparently but okular opens it like adobe
reader does.
