What went wrong? (add screenshot)
See try_it_now_page.png, attached.

Expectation:

• Text entered into a form should be aligned with the blank space on the form
• Checkboxes should be checkable, or at least it should be possible to enter an X using the text tool and have it aligned with the checkbox

Chris, this PDF is not a real form like https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf, where you can just type directly and check checkboxes. The PDF shown in the what's new page is to show that even PDFs that are not correctly formatted as forms can still be filled in Firefox, thanks to its editing tools.

You can move the text around by clicking on it and dragging it, if you want to position it more precisely.
