The "Alignment" button is grey out under "Objects"/"Edit PDF". I need to align the text box the the center of the page. Not align the text inside the text box. Is it possible?

To center text in a PDF, make the text box the full width of the page, then center the text in the box.

Where does you see "Page Settings" in Adobe Acrobat?

As a subscriber for over 6 years, it's disheartening to see this. As a designer, alignment tools are crucial and heavily relied upon in my workflow. It's disappointing that even after more than 5 years, Acrobat still lacks basic image and text alignment features, indicating a shortfall in the development of design software.

Acrobat is not a design software.

I can understand Acrobat not having all of the fancy bells and whistles that professional design software would have.

This is basic text centering we're talking about here. Adobe really is struggling, isn't it?

Booo. The fact that it is not an editor doesn't mean you can't facilitate functions for users. I use Adobe DC and it has an EDit PDF option, making it an editor. Still. no center option. Why? Someone just decided to annoy users and stick to a rule from back when Adobe was just a reader. Those times are gone. Add functions required by your users for Adobe today.

No. Acrobat doesn't have such an alignment option, since it's not really an editor and using it as such should only be done if no other options are available.

Yes. Acrobat has an Edit PDF function, and therefore really is an editor and will be used as such, so some very basic funtionality should be expected. Why bother replying if you don't have anything useful to contribute?

This is a product being sold by Adobe. We can expect it to have, you know, some features.
