Set of 20 labels in single pdf, i need to position identical text field on each label

Hi,

I have a set of 20 labels in a single PDF. I need to position the exact same sized text field, in the exact same position in each individual label on the set - how do i achieve this?

I have hundreds of these sets with different designs - so i need to figure out an easier way to do it, rather than painstakingly doing each and every label manually one at a time.

Attached is a picture of what i'm working with.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (P.S I'm working on adobe acrobat DC at the moment)

Okay this works well enough for me, thank you.

One more question, how do i center the text horizontally in the text field? I see the option to center it vertically in the text field properties - but there is no option to center the text horizontally. Any suggestions?

It's the other way around, actually... You can set it to center horizontally via the Alignment property.
If you set the Multiline option the text will be aligned to the top of the field. Otherwise it will be aligned to its center.

Other alignment options are available if you set the field as having Rich Text Formatting.
