    My use case is that we are having the user digitally sign the PDF, and they need to save it and re-upload the signed version. We want to put an ID on the document that we can then verify with the Parse PDF Plugin that is invisible.

    I worked around this by instead creating a read-only visible field, that had the text color set to white, and the font set as small as it could go, so it would be effectively invisible.
