Text box alignment on page

[junzhi2002]

Is it possible to align a text box to the center of a page in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC? I am annoyed because I accidentally moved the title of my page (Didn't notice until printing) which is on a separate text box than other words. Then I can't move the title text box back to place which annoys me when I print the page together with others with the same problem which cause the reading experience to be rather annoying after that. Can some experts here teach me how to align a test box to a desired place on the Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?

When selecting a text box for editing in Acrobat, it allows for text alignment tools, but they seemingly work only on the text characters (as text), not the text box as an entity.  I did, though, get it to work by doing the edit in Adobe Illustrator.  I clicked on the Edit Using... button and making the text box align-to-page adjustment there.

Not ideal, and (of course) you must have Illustrator.  But it did work!

I hope this is helpful.

My best,

Dave

The text boxes you see don't really exist in the PDF. They're a simplification generated by Acrobat to make it easier for you to edit the file. Text in a PDF doesn't exist in this way, in such neat boxes.

Right!  Once in Illustrator, I had to group everything into one entity, and then could align to the page.  Wasn't sure how it would 'translate' back to the PDF, but it worked, and the text was still 'editable'.
