You are using @Fig, which is not supported in PDF backend.

For the signature block you can, perhaps, use nested tables.  Or you
can try this instead:

 A {[Signature] |1.65it Big Cheese |2.65it Supremo
    //0.6vx
    3.8i @Wide { @LocalWidthRule }
    //0.6vx
    Approving Authority |0.53bt Typed Name |0.92bt Title
 }

 B {[Signature] |1.75it 12"/"7"/"1999
    //0.6vx
    2.25i @Wide { @LocalWidthRule }
    //0.6vx Fiscal Officer |1.75it Date
 }
