How does one "micro nudge" text boxes?

I am creating an extensive form fill-able PDF (a few hundred fields) and am using the "create multiple copies" button. The problem is when I create multiple copies it is impossible to get the fill fields to line up with the actual fields on the sheet (even with changing the height).  I have to nudge them into place but there is normal nudge (arrow keys) and big nudge (shift and arrow keys), but I need a micro nudge. If micro nudge is possible in Acrobat pro what is the keyboard combo? I have tried click and drag with the mouse but 50% of the time I mis-align the fields with the other fields in the columns. Then I have to go through and re-align every field, which is really time consuming. A micro nudge would be the best way to go right now. Thank you ahead of time.

Explore the other positioning possibilities that are available when you select multiple fields and right-click. Things like Distribute Vertically/Horizontally can save a lot of time.
Also, if you display the rulers (Ctrl+R), you can drag guides from them. When you drag a field or field border close to one, the field border will snap to the guide. The exact behavior depends where the cursor is in relation to the field borders when dragging fields.
If you're using Acrobat 11, there are a lot of new keyboard shortcuts that are most not documented as they should be, but you can see a list in this previous post: Re: Acrobat XI switch between form design & form view

  • How does one overwrite existing text?

    One can do plenty of clever formatting in drafting Thunderbird correspondence. But I am unable to find how one overwrites existing text. Can someone help, please?

    please I am having trouble understanding. But here goes what I think your asking.
    When you reply in an interleaved fashion as you did with my email, you need to break the previous message by pressing enter to get your own text area to type in. I saw a discussion on one of the develop0er list the other day where they were suggesting that some of the font information is bleeding back and forth in these situation and brainstorming what to actually do about it. That is just a discussion as yet. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tb-planning/ZYusepcRj-k
    One of the best option in my opinion is to use the quote and compose managerhttps://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/quoteandcomposemanager-en.html as it preserves the vertical lines Thunderbird shows while editing in the outgoing message to make it clear where the interleaved information is located. It also has a stabilize font option that has helped many. (The author is Italian, so Italian locales of his add-ons are always available)

  • How does one convert a text path back into a line path in Illustrator CS 5?

    The previous answer to the same question in Nov 2009 does not work for me. That was to copy and paste in front. I've tried every permutation of copy and paste; I renamed the path to path. It looks like a path when I add stroke, but it does not behave like one.  I can't cut it or join it to any other path. It remembers it's text path status.
    I'm running OS X 10.7.5.
    Thank you.

    The plus sign in this case means that another selection tool is being used called Group Selection Tool. You can pick it from the Tools panel if you click and hold the mouse on the Direct Selection Tool (white pointer) and then you don't have to hold Option when clicking with it. If you hold Option while using this tool will switch to the Direct Selection Tool (white pointer without the plus sign)
    Once there is text on the path. The option-click seems a reliable solution.
    Shouldn't make a difference with or without text on the path.

    Scott, there is no way I can select the path without its text aspect via the Layers Panel in CS5

    This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

    Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
    From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height

    In the new keynote, the help section refers to the Wrap Inspector.  How does one find that or how does one wrap text around a photo??   Thanks

    You can also use the shape tool to draw a shape roughly following the outline of the graphic you want to wrap text around, change the fill and stroke to "none", then paste your text within the shape. It's a few more steps, but it opens you up to many creative alternative layouts.

  • How does one create LOV Map between 2 fields for custom lookup mapping

    Hi there
    In Internet Expenses, Expense Report Line Detail we have two unrelated fields; namely Expense Location & Tax Code.
    The requirement is to map a default tax code to locations; basically when a user enters Expense Location then the mapped tax code value should default into field Tax Code.
    The location-tax code mapping is stored in a custom lookup (FND_LOOKUP_VALUES).
    My question is how does one go about implementing this?  For example is it possbile to create a new (hidden) LOV based on the lookup mapping & then create a Personalization LOV Mapping between the 3 LOV...  Or is it necessary to modify the Tax Code drop down Message Choice in JDeveloper?  Of course details are appreciated!
    FYI below is the relevant Personalization Structure from "Personalize Stack Layout: (NormalDetails)".
    Message Lov Input: Expense Location
    - Lov Mappings
    -- Lov Map: (lovMap1)
    -- Lov Map: (lovMap2)
    -- Lov Map: (lovMap3)
    - Message Text Input: Expense Location
    - Message Styled Text: Transaction Location
    - Message Text Input: Merchant Name Yes
    - Message Styled Text: Description
    - Message Check Box: Original Receipt Missing Yes
    - Message Choice: Tax Code
    - Message Check Box: Amount Includes Tax
    - Message Choice: Tax Code
    Many thanks
    G

    Hello all
    The correct & supported method is this:
    Extend the location LOV in JDeveloper & add a "default tax" attribute, this could be derived from a new location DFF storing the default tax code for each location. Now simply create a location Personalization LOV Map which takes this new location lov tax attribute & target it to the tax message choice field.
    That's my 2c worth anyway, so please give comment if you feel there is a better way.
    There is just one more little problem however... The requirement has changed! Now we require the tax code to default according to not one location field, but other fields too. For example if the user selects Expense Type of Beverage & Location of Netherlands then Tax Code should be NL19%, for Expense Type of Hotel then it should be NL6%; if the user ticks "Missing Receipt" field then it should over ride all others & set the code to NL0%.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks

  • How do I Expand the Text Box in Mail Stationery?

    I have a question about using stationery in Mail. Is there anything I can do to make the text box in certain templates to hold more content? It seems that, in some templates (like Bamboo, for example), the text box expands automatically as more content is keyed in. Yet, in the Tack Board template, for example, the text box does not expand beyond what seems to be a fixed length for content. How can I get the text box in Tack Board to expand for additional content?

    Please check text input state defined , also if the form is inserted in any container then try to test out the form with different text input boxes in a new page.
    Additionally , check the mid-hieght of text inserted in frame.
    Thanks,

    how do I turn off text box in pages?

    Thank you Peter and Jerry.
    Screen shot above. I know it's not much, but there it is.
    In actual fact I can make the text box bigger, but I just want to have the option of not having a text box.
    It should be simple, and not actually need a screen shot: just simple instructions. It seems pretty fundamental to me.  Does anyone know how to do this?
