Question

How do I bring text to the front in Acrobate 2020 Pro

I am using Acrobat 2020 Pro and trying to mark pages as exhibits. However, when I assign a letter or number to an exhibit, it hides the text so it cannot be seen. I have tried changing the layers, but nothing seems to work. The only fix that I can find is to change the opacity of the exhibit sticker to 50%, and then everything looks washed out and extremely unprofessional.

 

Please help because my deadline is racing up on me!

I signed up just to voice my support for Greg and sileth82. First of all, I have this exact same problem and I haven't solved it yet. Can't find Adjust Objects. Doesn't seem to exist in this version. Can't move text to the front. Of course, they change everything constantly so looking it up is near useless. One of the worst designed pieces of software I've ever used, and yet we have no choice because this garbage company are the only ones doing it.

Fellow paralegal fighting for my life here. I figureout what you were trying to explain. 1. Copy the Exhibit sticker as an image into word (idk why this works but it does). Then go the PDF you are trying to add the exhibit to. Edith the PDF>paste the copy image from the word doc into the PDF. DO NOT HIT SAVE. from Here go right to edit PDF>Add Text. You should be text right ontop of the Exhibit sticker. Best my dude.

Change the opacity of the stamp itself, after applying it (via its Properties), not of the image within it.

If you look at the attachment that I uploaded in the OP, you will see that the image opacity is at 50%. That is the only way you can see the numbering or lettering of the black text. I need to know how to bring the text to the front or move the image to the back, so I can increase the image opacity back to 100%

The opacity setting you need to modify is that of the applied stamp, not of the stamp file itself.

Here's how the same stamp looks like at 100% and 50% opacity:

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
