User Guide
2 Right-click/Control-click the form field that you want the other selected form fields to match, choose Size, and
then select one of the following:
Height Adjusts the heights without changing the widths.
Width Adjusts the widths without changing the heights.
Both Adjust all widths and heights to match.
Move individual form fields
You can move form fields by simply dragging them. For greater precision in less time, you can use special features
that align them with each other, adjust the spacing between them, and center them on the page.
1 Using the Select Object tool, select one or more form fields that you want to move.
2 Do one of the following:
• To move to an approximate location, drag the selected form fields to the new location.
To constrain movement to a horizontal or vertical direction, begin dragging, and then press Shift while continuing
to drag the selection.
• To move either horizontally or vertically in small increments, press the arrow keys to nudge the selected form field
into position.
• To move the form field to the exact center of a page, choose Edit > Cut, navigate to the desired page, and then
choose Edit > Paste.
Note: Fields are placed in the center of the page only the first time they’re pasted. Additional pasted fields are offset from
the previously pasted field.
Align and center multiple form fields
1 Select two or more form fields that you want to align.
2 Right-click/Control-click the field to which the others will align, choose Align, and then choose a command as
follows:
• To align a column of fields, choose Left, Right, or Vertical to align them respectively to the left edge, right edge,
or vertical axis (center) of the anchor form field.
• To align a row of fields, choose Top, Bottom, or Horizontally to align them respectively to the top edge, bottom
edge, or horizontal axis (center) of the anchor form field.
Note: When you right-click/Control-click one of the selected fields, it’s highlighted in red instead of blue, indicating that
it’s the anchor form field. The Align menu commands move the other selected form fields to line up with the edges of the
anchor form field.
Adjust the spacing between form fields
In the context of laying out form fields on a page, distributing means to give a group of form fields uniform spacing,
measured from the centers of adjacent fields. The Distribute commands take precedence over the Snap To Grid
command.
1 Press Shift and select the form fields that you want to adjust.
2 Right-click/Control-click any one of the selected form fields, and do one of the following:
• To distribute the fields evenly between the topmost and bottommost fields, choose Distribute > Vertically.
• To distribute the fields evenly between the leftmost and rightmost fields, choose Distribute > Horizontally.
