Distribute form fields horizontally and vertically: backwards

[willemsj]

I've noticed this for quite some time. I figured someone would point it out eventually and a future version of Acrobat DC would fix it... but that hasn't happened.

When multiple form fields are selected in Acrobat Pro, you can choose to distribute them vertically or horizontally.

Vertical distribution is represented by parallel vertical lines and boxes and horizontal is represented by horizontal lines and boxes.

This could be an acceptable icon interpretation (and an understandable mix-up from the GUI developers) except that it's the exact opposite as Adobe Illustrator - which has vertical parallel lines for horizontal distribution and horizontal for vertical distribution.

I think the Illustrator interpretation is correct and makes more sense - and it's been around longer.

I didn't know how to get this to someone at Adobe - this is the first time I've posted a discussion on a forum.

Could someone make sure this gets fixed? I always end up clicking on the wrong one the first time around.

possibly irrelevant details:

Current Acrobat Version: Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, 2015 Release, 2015.010.20056

But I've seen this issue since the first time I used the new distribute function in Acrobat.

Interesting. So what do you think about the Center Vertically and Center Horizontally icons? I think you could make the point that they should be switched too.

You can submit a bug report here: Feature Request/Bug Report Form

That would be the easiest fix - it's just a GUI problem.

Switch the two icons but keep the functions the same (and the mouseover text) and that would fix it.

Thanks for the link. I've submitted a "Feature Request" because I couldn't say it was a "bug" per se.
