 - xPct and yPct are percentages from the TOP-LEFT of that specific page image
 - Place the field AT the blank underline — align it to sit on top of the line
 - For a row like "Signature __________ Date _______", create TWO separate fields: one for the signature blank and one for the date blank, each at their own x position
-- widthPct: match the visual width of the underline — short blanks get small widths, long signature lines get wider
-- heightPct: keep fields thin — signature/text ~2.5%, initials/date ~2%
+- widthPct: match the visual width of the underline — short blanks get small widths (5-15%), long lines wider (20-30%)
+- heightPct: THIN — use 1.2% for text/date/initials, 1.8% for signatures. Fields must not overlap the text above the blank.
+- yPct: point to the underline itself. The field sits ON the blank line. If you place it too high it will cover the printed text above.
 - Do NOT place checkbox fields
