Pdf – Align text boxes in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

adobe-acrobatalignmentpdf

I have a PDF with a table on contents where each line is it's own text box object. I want to align these objects with each other but I can't find a way to do this. There is no "align" command and I can't edit the X-Y location properties of the object.

The only method that I found was to put a guideline on the page and manually drag objects around to get them to line up. This is both a terrible waste of time and doesn't work right.

When I search for help, everything relates back to Acrobat 10 which is no use to me. For some stupid reason, the adobe help documents are only written for Acrobat X.

Best Answer

I found a workaround for this if anyone still encounters the issue follow steps below:

  1. Select text boxes you want to align.
  2. Right click> choose center> Horizontally. This will center all text boxes on the page.
  3. Select the text boxes again
  4. Right Click> choose align> align left. this will align the objects to one another.
  5. now select all text boxes together, and move it over to the desired spot on your sheet.
