Preview isn't saving electronic signatures

I've received pdf documents that require my electronic signatures and when I open the pdf in Preview on my MacBook Pro with macOS Monterey, add the signature, save the document, close the document and then reopen it, the signature is no longer there. Please advise.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.3
