Question

Acrobat ProDC - exact positions of Objects

Hi,

I would like to insert objects (pictures, form fields etc.) exactly into the PDF - not to move them with the mouse, but place them exactly according to dimensions and also set the size exactly.
For example: Place an image or form exact 10.2 mm from the edge with a width of exactly 90 mm.
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about it in the instructions.
Can you help?
Greetings

Waibl

    You can use a script to do it (by setting the rect property), or even the Position tab under the Properties dialog of a form field.

    You can't do it with images, unless they are also a part of a field (like the icon of a button field).

      Thank You very much for your answer

      Sorry I'm not that experienced with Acrobat.
      I cannot find the "Properties dialog".   I use Acrobat pro DC
      I am sending a screenshot of my editing view.

      How could such a script be made?

      Thanks

        It's not possible with these text blocks. If you want to do that you need to use InDesign or FrameMaker, or something like that.


        Thank You ...so its a little more clear.
