About moving form fields

You can move form fields in a PDF file by dragging, using keyboard keys, or with the standard Cut and Paste commands.

  • To move a form field, approximately position it by dragging it to the new location. To limit movement to a horizontal or vertical direction, begin dragging and then press Shift as you drag the selection.

  • Use the arrow keys to move around the fields by one pixel. To step by 10 pixels, hold down the Shift key while moving.

  • To relocate or copy a form field to the center of any page, select it, select Cut or Copy on the Edit tab of the ribbon, navigate to the desired page, and select Paste.

Pasted Fields are placed in the center of the page. If further fields are pasted, they appear with an offset, lower and to the right of the first field.

Do not edit form controls or run Form Typer on a form with active XFA controls.
