Uhm.... Good idea.

The appearance should be the /N entry inside the /AP entry on the /FT /Sig dictionary, right? (I'm no PDF expert, it just kind of made sense (maybe?))

This PDF here has the appearance I want (sent by my client): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9u-J6HILTH6NE1SSVVDZHhWSmc
I tried to find it's appearance dictionary:

11 0 obj
<</F 132/Type/Annot/Subtype/Widget/Rect[5 5 240 120]/FT/Sig/DR<</XObject<</FRM 9 0 R>>>>/T(Signature1)/V 1 0 R/P 12 0 R/AP<</N 10 0 R>>>>
endobj

10 0 obj
<</Type/XObject/Resources<</XObject<</FRM 9 0 R>>/ProcSet [/PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC /ImageI]>>/Subtype/Form/BBox[0 0 235 115]/Matrix [1 0 0 1 0 0]/Length 29/FormType 1/Filter/FlateDecode>>stream
q 1 0 0 1 0 0 cm /FRM Do Q
endstream
endobj

Are these the droids I'm looking for? (I have absolutely no idea what this means)

Thanks Tilman,

Well, here is the source code (only the visual signature bit):

// Creates the designer and set properties
PDVisibleSignDesigner sigDesigner = new PDVisibleSignDesigner(doc, image, page);
sigDesigner.xAxis(100).yAxis(200).zoom(-50);
PDVisibleSigProperties visibleSigProp = new PDVisibleSigProperties();
visibleSigProp.setPdVisibleSignature(sigDesigner).signatureReason("Test");

// this should replace visibleSigProp.buildSignature()
PDFTemplateBuilder builder = new ExtSigBuilder();
PDFTemplateCreator creator = new PDFTemplateCreator(builder);
visibleSigProp.setVisibleSignature(creator.buildPDF(visibleSigProp.getPdVisibleSignature()));

// add VisibleSignature options to general signature options
SignatureOptions sigOpts = new SignatureOptions();
sigOpts.setVisualSignature(visibleSigProp);
sigOpts.setPage(0);


// add signature options to signature
doc.addSignature(sigDic, mySigner, sigOpts );

The class used to modify the behavior was:

// Test -> should write "Hello" on the top-left corner (adapted from 
stackoverflow - String to COSName)
public class ExtSigBuilder extends PDVisibleSigBuilder
     {
         String fontName;

         @Override
         public void createImageForm(PDResources imageFormResources, 
PDResources innerFormResource,
                 PDStream imageFormStream, PDRectangle formrect, 
AffineTransform affineTransform, PDImageXObject img)
                 throws IOException
         {
             super.createImageForm(imageFormResources, innerFormResource, 
imageFormStream, formrect, affineTransform, img);

             PDFont font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA;
             fontName = 
getStructure().getImageForm().getResources().add(font).getName();
         }
@Override
         public void injectAppearanceStreams(PDStream holderFormStream, 
PDStream innterFormStream, PDStream imageFormStream,
                 COSName imageObjectName, COSName imageName, COSName 
innerFormName, PDVisibleSignDesigner properties)
                 throws IOException
         {
             super.injectAppearanceStreams(holderFormStream, innterFormStream, 
imageFormStream, imageObjectName, imageName, innerFormName, properties);

             String imgFormComment = "q " + 100 + " 0 0 50 0 0 cm /" + imageName + " 
Do Q\n";
             String text = "BT /" + fontName + " 6 Tf (Hello) Tj ET\n";
             
appendRawCommands(getStructure().getImageFormStream().createOutputStream(), 
imgFormComment + text);
         }
     }
When I don't use ExtSigBuilder or comment the 'appendRawCommands', I get this:

But when I try to add this visible layer, the retangle becomes blank: link
You said that there is no example, but can I achieve it if I'm willing to get 
dirty and use low level API's? Is there a recommended architecture I can follow 
to merge this on the project latter?
it's possible. One way to approach it is to create a visible signature with the 
text in Adobe Acrobat and inspect and replicate the sppearance stream.

Thanks in advance,

Hello all,

I'm trying to add a visible signature to a pdf document -> So far, no problems
But I've seen documents that add a text layer above the visible signature that 
shows some of the signature details, such as location, reason, date, the 
validity of the signature (and that's updated if, for example, you trust a root 
certificate). I'd like to add these features, but I didn't find any example on 
the SVN directory.

The closest I got was this stackoverflow question 
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27926407/visual-signature-with-pdfbox-1-8-8>,
 but that did not work for me (I changed the methods signatures to the updated API, 
but all I got was a blank rectangle).
The text layer isn't supported, or rather, there is no example for it.

What you could do is to post your source code and upload the result PDF 
somewhere, I'll see if I can find something.

Btw a known problem is signing rotated pages (there's an SO issue about that 
too), so make sure your page isn't.
