How to position elements on the page

[gibran65]

Hello,

I'd like to know how to position elements on the page. Centering especially, but if possibly, I'd like to specify numerical coordinates (ex. 1.25 inches from the left, 5.5 inches from the top).

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.

What kind of "elements"?

As mentioned, Acrobat is NOT a page layout application and should not be used as such. Basically there's no way to do that with such accuracy. You can manually move some static elements (like text), but that's about it.

Whatever you’re doing it sounds as if you might bettering to use Acribat to do page design. If so, that was lies pain, frustration, and wasted time. Don’t do that! Use your normal page make up app.

The problem I have going the 'normal page make up app' route is, upon conversion some of my PNG images become jagged. Therefore, I 'Add Images' directly into the Adobe PDF; that way they are clear and crisp and sharp. But it does leave me with a positioning problem. Better that than jagged images.
