Research direction
Investigate how new annotations (signatures, text) are added to a PDF page in Stirling PDF. Check the codebase for functions that handle adding content and ensure new elements are placed above existing form fields. Review the PDF library's documentation for correct layering. Consider whether the issue affects all PDFs or only those with input fields.
