Help please!

Every time I make a fillable text box - the cursor goes to the middle of the text box when I preview the form and try to type in the box.

ANY and ALL help would be great!!

Thank you!

Open the Form editor in Acrobat Pro.

Select the text field, right-clic : Properties : Option : Align left.

You can tick the "Make default" checkbox if you want this setting for all new text fields.

Hi,

Is the Form editor the same as the "Edit PDF" in the right field? If so, I cannot click the text field because it's in gray. Please help, my text still goes to the middle of the fillable form.

Use "Prepare Form".

Do you mean vertically? If so, set the field as Multiline.

I would like to align text vertically in a text box (pdf form) and I HAVE checked "Multi-line" in the text field properties, but when I close editing and fill out the form, the text is vertically CENTERED. Any suggestions?
