Is there a way to realign transformed PDF fields based on original PDF alignment?

Hi everyone,

I'm using the eSignature REST API v2.1 and enabling "transformPdfFields": true to automatically convert PDF AcroForm fields into DocuSign tabs.

What I’ve noticed is:

In the original PDF, some text fields are center-aligned.
After transformation, those fields become left-aligned, and there seems to be no way to restore the original alignment.

My questions:

Is there a current way (via tab properties or metadata) to re-align or preserve the original alignment of transformed fields?

Is there a plan to allow alignment options (left, center, right) on transformed tabs in the future?

Thanks!

Docusign eSignature always left-aligns all tabs and fields. Currently, there's no option to change their alignment to right or center, whether they were added manually or transformed.

This product limitation is known and an enhancement request is present in our system. However, there was no decision if and when this enhancement will be developed and released.
