Unable to move a check box without resizing it?

[MOVED TO THE ACROBAT DISCUSSIONS]

If you're unable to move a checkbox without resizing it, try the following steps:

1. Select the Checkbox: Click directly on the checkbox to select it.

2. Use Arrow Keys: Once selected, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the checkbox without resizing it.

Check Lock Aspect Ratio: If you're resizing by accident, check if the "Lock Aspect Ratio" option is enabled in the properties. Disable it if needed.

4. Use the Move Tool: In some applications, using a dedicated "Move" tool instead of directly dragging the checkbox can prevent resizing.

If these steps don't work, consider checking the software's settings or documentation for more specific guidance.

This is a very old Acrobat bug, reported at least 1000 times.

When the zoom is reduced it should assume that the user wants to move the field and not resize it, and therefore display the appropriate cursor.

It should be obvious to developers that when you want to resize a field you necessarily do so with an enlarged zoom, and not the other way round.

++ Adding to the valuable suggestions of Mathew and Nesa,

Zooming in is the only work around for this particular issue and it has been identified in earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat, but if you find it annoying, here is another tip:

• You may also open the "Prepare Form" tool.

• Refer to the Adobe Acrobat's Workspace Basics:  https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/workspace-basics.html

• When you open the "Prepare Form" tool you'll notice to the right margin of your Document View the most recently used tools are listed, and a navigation pane will automatically expand; you'll see all of your document's fields listed in "Alphabetical Order" or in "Tab Order".

• With this pane opened you may select the desired field by clicking on it. Then hover the mouse pointer the checkbox field in your PDF document and use the arrow keys of your keyboard to move the field as suggested by ACP NesaNurani.

• Once the desired field(s) are selected, you may move them using your keyboard's arrow keys as suggested by ACP NesaNurani.

Same issue for me. Im suprized no one else is here. My workaround it to zoom in to I am able to select the middle of the text box. Dumb... But it works. I was hoping there was a button I could hold. PAy good money for this and expeced better honestly. If others didint use it as a crutch. I would drop it quick.
