[...] Would it be possible to generate only one annotation widget for the signature?
Only if one beforehand would indicate that there are no more possible kids (we don't want to keep that info as yet another bit of multipass data) which would be yet another hard to explain (undocumented feature). The current approach is afaik valid (and it's already hard enough to get these widgets robust over pdf / acrobat versions). It would also make the code messier (nwo we clearly separate parent and instance, then we have an extra hybrid form which duplicates the code). So, what is the benefit? Saving a few bytes hardly matters here.
You are right, Hans. It is much ado about nothing. Sorry for the noise, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
