Textfeld als Schaltfläche zentrieren

Hallo Nadja,

falls Du doch Text in Schaltflächen (buttons) zentrieren möchtest, dann wähle die Schaltfläche aus und schau' mal in das Ebenen-Bedienfeld. Dort findest Du alle Elemente des sichtbaren Status der Schaltfläche, auch den Textrahmen. Und das ist ein ganz normaler Textrahmen wie Du ihn sonst auch auf einer Seite benutzen könntest:

Hi Derek,

Nadja wants to center the text in a form field like a text box.

Don't think she means a button object, because that's easy. Simply center the text frame in a button's state to the center. And also the text inside the text frame using paragraph formatting for "center" and text frame options to vertically align center.

Nadja,

this cannot be done in InDesign's user interface if the form field is a text box.

A "Textfeld" in German. You have to do that with Acrobat Pro.

Or you need a script like Ariel Walden's FormMaker for InDesign:

There is a free test version at: https://www.id-extras.com/products/formmaker/

I don't quite understand the issue – if the position of the text within a shape is as you want it in InDesign, what happens when you export it to say an Interactive PDF?
By the way, don't produce multi-state buttons they won't work on smartphones and tablets.
