Duplicate digital signature in multiple places on 1 document

Question

I am trying to streamline a process and show my Supervisor's digital signature in 4 different places by only digitally signing & saving the document once. All the digital signatures shown don't need to be valid or certified, they just need to show on the document. The reason for this is because after signing, the document is printed out and completed the rest of the way with ink signing.

A kind of similiar request was discussed from a post back in 2015 from patrickb47948697 titled "Sign multiple pages at once" but was never fully answered. Any help would be appreciated. I am not very knowledgeable on javascript but I would think it would be possible with it for the digital signature to run a script that copies what is in the digital signature to an image field of the same size.

In second thought, it might be possible using a custom-made script, since you know which profile is going to be used, but as I said it's not really worth the trouble.

Not possible. They would need to fully sign each digital signature field. But this is kind of moot anyway, since a printed digital signature is not worth much. You can just use a stamp that looks like a real signature instead, or an image field. That will allow you to duplicate it easily across pages. And if you want to digitally sign the file, do it once, as that's all that's needed anyway.
