Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the original object a image of a

I'm somewhat clueless about this software issue but wonder about this
way of seeing things. Since it appears there is a signature, as in what
is at the bottom of a letter or a bank check, wouldn't they want to make
it so that is not able to be extracted at all? If I had a digital
signature, I wouldn't want to put it somewhere that it could be used by
someone that I wouldn't want it to be used by.
I'm not saying you would do this, because I don't think you would, but
if you could grab that image, then someone who did have bad intentions
could do the same thing. This would not be good. My reason for
mentioning this, it may be done in such a way that is intended to
prevent you from doing what you want to do. Therefore, it may not be
"doable" by design.
Just a thought.
