When using the keyboard to move an object in Acrobat Pro DC, is there a way to change the increment used or specify a location using X-Y coordinates?
I have added a horizontal line to a pdf form as an underline to some text fields that span the page. The traditional underline text function will not do what I need.
The weight of the line is too thick, and when I try dragging the selection handles, it becomes either thicker or too thin. Is there a way to specify numerically how thick the line should be, as there is in InDesign?
A secondary but equally important question is, can an object (text box, line, etc.) be moved by increments instead of just Up-Arrow, Down-Arrow, Shift-Up-Arrow, etc.? In the example of the line above (or the text boxes directly above it), a single up-arrow increment moves them too close together, and leaving them where they are is too far apart. I have tried moving them with the mouse instead of the keyboard, but even with "snap-to-grid" off, the objects seem to be locked into a grid spacing, anyway; i.e., there is no "in-between" place so I can get the spacing between the text boxes and the line how I want it.
In InDesign, you can hold Shift-Command (on a Mac) to move by one-tenth of a single up-arrow increment, and that's the functionality I need in Acrobat Pro DC. The only modifier I have found is the Shift key, which multiplies the increment (seemingly by a factor of 10), but I haven't found a key-combination that allows smaller increments of movement instead of larger.
Alternatively (and even better, I think), in InDesign, you can numerically specify with X and Y coordinates where you want an object placed. THAT would be IDEAL!
Thank you very much for any help you can give!
