I noticed that to add merge fields in the middle of the document/texts, according to the instructions I need to leave a blank space where the field will be located, is there a way to configure that space to adjust to the text of the merge field? Because I notices that perhaps the Account Name for example is too long, and if the blank space for it is not big enough, it will be written over the document text.
Hello! Is there a way to create a template to be used in Salesforce, that is customizable with merge fields? Instead of leaving a blank space to add the Salesforce fields, having a space that will adjust to the lenght of the text.

Hello,
This aligns with the Gen product, which would allow them to add Gen Anchors where they need their Salesforce content, and the documents auto-size when Generated. Currently, eSignature merge fields do not have this ability, they are essentially a layer above the content until burned into the PDF.
There is a workaround but it would require you to set up the legacy ‘Salesforce’ Connect configuration (and no, you don’t need to install DFS in the SFDC Org). All you need to do to configure it is to configure the login to your salesforce org and set it to ‘Active’. You don’t need to mess with any other settings. After you set it up, you’d need to go create or edit a template in the web app so that you can get to the embedded tagging page, then click on merge fields on the left, then click the setting wheel next to each one you desire to modify the field width/height settings for. Also, consider using “fixed width” if you don’t want the field auto-expanding to fit the size of the content.
