When I sign a document with my digital signature the signature appears very tiny. Just making the signature field larger doesn't seem to help as the signature gets a little larger, but then blocks out wording on the document. The date and timestamp look larger than my signature. Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like you are using an appearance of the digital signature that uses the scanned image of your "ink signature" to paper.
Something to try.

On paper have your signature fill a rectangle that is at least 1 inch by 3 inches.
Typically, the scanned image gets put into PDF; so, do that.
Now export the image to a graphic image file. I used *.png.
In Preferences > Security go ahead and edit or create an appearance that imports the *.png file.
Use this appearance for your digital ID signature.

When I use an appearance that imports the image that is in a PDF (cropped) I find the image to be a tad bit small also.
When I use an appearance that imports the *.png the results are more pleasing .Be well..

Be well...
