Reproduction

Outcome
- ✅ When PDF was signed with "Digitales Amt", it says "Digitales Amt". Ideal!
- 🆗 When PDF was signed via the web app it says "asign.ECDSA". Very technical. But at least something.
- ❌ When PDF was signed via PDF-Over it says "Not available". Feels not very trustable.
- Expected: It should say "Signature was created using PDF-Over".
