Question

Acrobat ProDC - exact positions of Objects

Hi,

I would like to insert objects (pictures, form fields etc.) exactly into the PDF - not to move them with the mouse, but place them exactly according to dimensions and also set the size exactly.
For example: Place an image or form exact 10.2 mm from the edge with a width of exactly 90 mm.
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about it in the instructions.
Can you help?
Greetings

Waibl

    You can use a script to do it (by setting the rect property), or even the Position tab under the Properties dialog of a form field.

    You can't do it with images, unless they are also a part of a field (like the icon of a button field).

      Thank You very much for your answer

      Sorry I'm not that experienced with Acrobat.
      I cannot find the "Properties dialog".   I use Acrobat pro DC
      I am sending a screenshot of my editing view.

      How could such a script be made?

      Thanks
