Are you looking for something in the lines of a WaterMark?

I don't know quite what I want. I just need to send back a "signed"
document.

What I've done in the past is (1) print out the signature page, (2)
sign it with a pen, (3) scan back in as a PDF.

But it seems there ought to be a way to paste in a previously scanned
"signature only", so that the text-searchability of the original PDF
is maintained.

Are you sure that would constitute a legal signature? I doubt it but I

Assuming you have the full version, Tools | Commenting | Stamps.

Create a custom stamp from an image of your signature. It will be available
to stamp on any document. You can resize it after stamping.

Apparently even "non-signature" digital signing is legal. Learned
from a lawyer in a firm that occupies _10_floors_ of the JP Morgan
Chase Tower in Houston.

With a decent algorithm, digital signing is pretty much impossible to forge
and trivial to check for. For signature signing, the degree of difficulty in
forging varies and you need to have a fancy handwriting analysis expert try to
tell you whether or not it was forged.

it wouldn't be so bad, if the drivers knew how to accelerate

Belching smoke on a new bus is probable cause to have it stopped and
inspected for using #2 oil instead of diesel. If any of the rest of us would
do that, we get slapped with a hefty fine for tax evasion (fuel taxes). #2
heating oil is exempted from most taxes but motor fuel is taxed heavily.
School busses get by without being stopped for smog emissions as the
officials seem to look the other way...

Until you get one of your signature PDFs out there in the wild. Then cut
