Change text position using javascript

[20195E7C]

Hello,

I would like to change x and y text position using javascript.

Clicking on a button, I would like to set x/y pos of differents text elements presents on my PDF.

Do you have a way to do it, I can't find any solution.

Thanks!!

Position of form fields or comments?

The only way to do this is if the text is in a form field or annotation.

You can find scripting info on doing this here:

Thank you for your answers. I was not specific enough indeed.

I has a form text element in my PDF.

I would like to change it's position using javascript. Example :
myTextFormField.setxpos = 100;

myTextFormField.setypos = 100;

=> I know this os not the good code 🙂 Just for the example.

If it is a text field that is being moved, then the article is exactly what you need. You'll also find a free example that shows how to move fields here:

Look at the "Bouncing Button" and "Swat the Fly" example files.
