This ribbon contains the following groups and tools, from left to right:
Basic group
Undo and Redo: Undo recent actions down to a certain depth. Undo recent undo actions. A few commands (like redaction and document flattening) cannot be undone.
Delete: Delete selectable items, such as drawing objects or text in a normal or a form text box. It cannot be used to delete text selected on the real PDF page - this can be done only with the Edit Object tool on PDF pages with a text layer.
Select Area, Select All and Deselect All. Select an area to copy it the Clipboard, create a stamp from it, transform it to a hyperlink, export it to an editable format or declare it a table using the area's shortcut menu. Select All selects all text and objects on the current page of a Normal PDF when the current view (set at View > Scroll Options) is Single Page. In other cases, it selects all text and objects in the document. With image-only PDFs it selects the whole current page. Deselect All removes the current selection.
Clipboard group
Cut or copy selected content to Clipboard, or paste Clipboard content into the current PDF.
Modify group
Crop: Reduce the size of the current or selected or all pages, or specify a page range; define the new crop page size by drag-and-drop or by numerical values.
Edit Objects: Select pictures or text blocks in order to modify them. Your image editor can be defined at File > Options > Edit Object. Text blocks cannot be selected in image-only PDF pages. Double-clicking in a text block allows the text to be modified. The shortcut menu and a floating toolbar of a selected object or text offer many more commands.
Insert group
Bates Numbering: In Power PDF Advanced, use this to add or remove Bates numbering, a system used mainly in legal circles to ensure that all pages in all documents relating to a particular case or topic have unique page identifiers. These identifiers appear in the Header or Footer areas of the pages.
Typewriter: Add text to any free place on a PDF page and define properties to be applied. Typewriter text becomes an integral part of the PDF at saving time.
Link: Add a hyperlink to a page area defining link appearance and linking an action to the link, for example opening a file, going to a web location or to a different location in the document.
Movie, Sound, 3D object: Insert these elements to a defined location on the PDF page.
Check spelling in comments, which includes texts in notes, text boxes and callouts. The drop-down list also allows the dictionary to be edited. Language choice and underline color are set at File > Options > Spell Check.
Tools group
Align: Display or hide grids, rulers and guides, and set Snap to Grid to have moved objects automatically aligned.
Measure: Determine distances, perimeters and areas of two-dimensional figures on the PDF page. A separate tool in the 3D-object toolbar allows 3D objects to be measured.
Javascript: Define actions to be performed through use of Javascript. JavaScript can be temporarily enabled or disabled in the program under File > Options > JavaScript. See Preferences Overview.
