Creating and Editing a form with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and need to realign my radio boxes, have hundreds to create.

I can select the Radio buttons as a group or individually, but I can't figure out how to move them (it only resizes them).

How do I move the Radio Buttons?

Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

Version 2018.011.20055

      So you were clicking on the edge of the field, instead of in its center...

      You can choose "Align, Distribute Or Center" tool to move them or align the placement of radio button.

      That does Not work

      Need to be able to select group of 4 Radio Buttons, Copy, Paste
      When I paste it places them in the Middle of the PDF Form

      I can select multiple Text Field and Move them as a group, but Radio Buttons only Resize

      I need to move them to the Left as a group

      There's no "Paste in Place" command in Acrobat, so if you copy and paste fields to another page you'll need to move them manually to the right location, yes.

      However, your second issue is very strange. What happens when you simply select the fields in Form Edit mode, then click and hold one of them and move the mouse? Does it not move the entire group along with it?


      Regarding Paste in Place, it is possible (Acrobat 11 and later) with form fields when you're in form editing mode. You need to hold down the Shift key while selecting the "Edit > Paste" menu item, or right-click > Paste (but not Shift+Ctrl+V). How's that for a hidden feature?
