Executing “pdftk my-pdf-form.pdf dump_data_fields” shows nothing

ITextSharp/Pdftk: place Base64 Image from Web on PDF as Pseude-Signature
As @mkl mentioned the question is a confusing, especially the title - usually base64 and signature do not go together. Guessing you want to place a base64 image from web on the PDF as a pseudo signature?!?! A quick working example to get you started: static void Main(string[] args) {...
