I’ve never seen OCR software create “boxes” as are exhibited around the signature and the date on the form.

Or maybe I just haven’t been around enough! :-)

It’s probably because the OCR isn’t scanning the signatures as text. They’re being scanned as a separate image layer on top of the background, while the OCR is picking up most of the rest of the text as searchable.
