Place Signature on a Stamp

[Charl Geyser]

I want to place a stamp on a PDF and then put my signature on the stamp. Currently, the signature ends up under the stamp and cant be seen. Does anyone know how you can bring the signature above the stamp?

That particular wet signature is added to the PDF page as a content image. So it will always be below all annotations. The solution is to flatten the PDF before adding the signature.

What do you mean by signature?  A wet (ink) signature image or a digital certificate. Cause you can't put a digital certificate on a stamp.

You can't change the ordering of field and annots. Acrobat draws them how it wants. This also changes depending on what has focus.  You can however flatten the stamp, then the signature will always appear on top. 

You can make a wet signature stamp here:

Hi, thanks for your response.

I have my signature loaded under the "Sign Document" pen icon.

I have 2 stamps: A commissioner of oaths and a certified true copy of
original.

Once I stamp these on a document, I need to sign and date them. But
unfortunately the signature ends up below the stamp, so it doesnt work.
