I created a form and would like the text to appear on the predawn line when clients are filling it out. How do I do this in the editor. Please help!

Thank you for the screen shots!!! No one ever does that and I find it incredibly helpful.

I have one problem. I use my Pro license on a virtual machine via Parallels on my Mac. So the desktop is Windows, but on my MacBook Pro. For whatever reason, I don't get the toolbar in your second image and NEITHER Control+E nor Command+E are working for me to bring up the next box. Did I miss a step between image 1 and image 2?

This is where I am stuck:

You can't align the text to the bottom of a field. If you want it to sit on top of a pre-drawn line you'll need to adjust the field's location and height manually to achieve it.

In 2022, this still doesnt work! Its just bonkers that Adobe doesnt offer the ability to align to the bottom of a field without moving the entire field. Just bonkers!
