You have an empty fields array in your pdf which need to contain all form
fields (also there needs to be a carriage return after the 7 0 obj) The
'sigflags' flag is also missing
16 0 obj<</NeedAppearances true/Fields 7 0 R>>
7 0 obj[]
Your signatures are probably recognized by adobe via the /Annots array (17
0 ob).
17 0 obj<</CropBox[0 0 612 792]*/Annots[18 0 R 19 0 R 20 0 R]*/Parent 10 0
R/Contents 30 0 R/Rotate 0/MediaBox[0 0 612 792]/Resources 21 0
R/Type/Page>>
endobj
18 0 obj<</Rect[90 475.8 289.92 525.72]/Subtype/Widget/BS<</S/S/W 1>>/F
4/T(SD_Effective Date)/FT/Sig/Type/Annot/Ff 0/MK<</BG[1 1 1]/BC[0 0 0]>>>>
endobj
19 0 obj<</Rect[90 328.08 289.92 378]/Subtype/Widget/BS<</S/S/W 1>>/F
4/T(Pathologist)/FT/Sig/Type/Annot/Ff 0/MK<</BG[1 1 1]/BC[0 0 0]>>>>
Probably your 'Liquent services server' needs fixing.
But as Bruno pointed out iText also has the possibility to fix some broken
PDFs...
