Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Many documents require the signer to apply initials in several places as well as a full signature. LibreSign appears to only have the option to apply a full signature, multiple times.

Describe the solution you'd like

In settings/admin/libresign, a near-duplicate of the "Signature stamp" section for "Initials stamp". Have it set just the initials from the signer's name.

Add signer --> Next, where it says "Select a signer to set their signature position", split the signer buttons into full signature or just initials.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The admin section doesn't necessarily need the "Initials stamp" part added, as long as the option exists to add just initials where needed.

Research direction

Start at settings/admin/libresign and trace the existing "Signature stamp" option, then follow the Add signer → Next flow where signer positions are selected. Done means administrators or signers can choose an initials option and place initials separately from full signatures wherever needed.
