Description Denny.Seniazi 2020-01-14 14:51:24 UTC
SUMMARY
I need a pdf file including my signature in a non-editable format.I have created a respective custom annotation. As there is no option to "flatten" annotations, I thought printing to pdf would be a suitable workaround. This workaround works for other annotations, but not for stamps (even for non-custom).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a pdf file
2. add a stamp annotation,
3. print to pdf (tick print annotations). 
 

OBSERVED RESULT
A pdf without stamp annotations

EXPECTED RESULT
A pdf with non-editable ("flattened") stamp annotations

Yeah, basically "stamps don't really work", they just work if you never leave Okular user interface.

There's various bugs about it
