Cups Printing System Open-Source Development Has Seemingly Dried Up

Somehow I am always surprised when I use a new PDF tool and discover that it, like all the others, has failed to use transparency to make signatures look right. No real signature fails to cross something already on a document, but every time we get this stupid blank box around the signature...

I've been using a little app called Xournal on linux for years which does that just fine.

I have a 600dpi png file with black foreground and transparent background.

Xournal drops it anywhere right over the existing pdf image, resized and positioned at will, and the transparent parts are transparent.

Clearly I've been using the wrong tools... fortunately this isn't an extremely common task for me.

I find this rather amusing, because the much maligned Adobe Reader handles this just fine.
