Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/documenso/documenso/issues/1283

Feature Description

When placing the form fields, it's difficult to know where the text will be placed. If someone wants to place it exactly on the predefined lines in the form
e.g:

My desired goal is to place the text that will be inserted later perfectly on the line. Therefore, it would be helpful to see a pre-rendered preview during placement so that I can optimize the positioning without trial and error.

Use Case

This would be helpful during placing the placeholder

Proposed Solution

Preview mode with sample text during placeholder placement

Reducing the transparency should fix it.

showing this was is. I just changed to transparency. However, when we sign the document the alignment shifts a little.

I will add that display of the entered data is wildly different on mobile browsers vs. full browsers after signing and that for example, an unresized signature field will scale a regular sized signature down to less than 1cm2. I feel the only way to make the field placing experience adequate is to allow entering sample data so that what you see in field placement is real data with real scaling and positioning.
The mistake I make all the time is leaving the fields the default size, i.e. not scaling them. It then depends on how you view it whether the content is scaled to fit within the bounding box or if it overruns it with a fixed fontsize, resulting in a "tower of characters" instead of a horizontal name field.
