Align Tool and Smart Positioning
After you
create new PDF objects , you may need to rearrange, resize, or
move them to give the page a cleaner, more professional look.
To make
adjustments in the layout of new PDFill Objects, there are two
arranging tools (Align Tool and Smart Positioning) to arrange
and align objects on a document page. With these tools, you
can easily align multiple objects to the left, the right,
vertically, horizontally, to the top and to the bottom. You can
update the properties of the selected objects and send objects to the "back" or bring objects to the
"front" like Microsoft Word.
To select one or more objects, you can use the Multiple
Selection by Mouse Dragging (Hold left mouse button to draw a box from left
to right or from right to left).
If you want to align the
original PDF Form Fields, you need to make them editable first from Edit
Menu => Make Original
Form Field Editable.
