Dispaly empty signature panels in PDF document

I have some signature panels in my online form, however in the PDF document output of when the form is submitted, I have selected 'hide empty fields'.

However I do want the empty signature panels to appear in the PDF document of the submitted form. Essentially the form is filled online, then sent to the client for signature.

Is there a way I can do this, and retain hiding of empty fields, but display the empty signature panel?

Greetings, and thank you for your patience.

I've come up with a possible solution for you:

You could create a Long text entry right below your signature field. After that, go to that field properties, and under Advanced set Default Value to be "Your signature:". You could also set this field to be Read-only:

Please note you will need to scroll down a little once in the Advanced tab to see those fields.

After that, you can set conditional logic to show the large text input only if the signature field is empty:

This way, if a user uses a Signature widget the Long text entry will be hidden, and won't appear in PDF document and vice versa.
