To shift a line horizontally:
1
Select the touchup text tool
, and select the line of text you want to modify.
2
Choose Tools > TouchUp > Show Line Markers (default selection). Selecting this
command again toggles it off or on, depending on the current state.
3
Drag the markers to the left or right.
You can also adjust the margins of a line using the Text Attributes dialog box. Margin
values in the Text Attributes dialog box are relative to the page boundaries. The line
markers that appear depend on the selected alignment mode.
Editing graphic objects within PDF documents
Acrobat allows you to edit any number of individual PDF graphic objects, such as line art,
images, or text blocks, using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and other applications
that can read and write PDF files directly. If you choose to edit a text box, the entire text
box is selected, even if it spans several pages. Be aware that the touchup object tool
cannot select individual characters that are part of larger text blocks. You need to use the
touchup text tool to edit individual characters and words.The touchup object tool enables
you to make last-minute corrections to graphic objects in a PDF document. For major
revisions, it is recommended that you revert to your original authoring application, make
the necessary changes, and then regenerate the PDF document.
Using the touchup object tool
, you can select a graphic object in a PDF document and
move it to a new location, edit it using the touchup object tool task features, or take it into
Photoshop, Illustrator, or other application directly from the PDF document, and edit it.
Once you complete the edit, you can place the object directly back in the PDF document if
you are using an external application, and view the newly edited object in its original
context. To take full advantage of this tool, you should have prior experience using the
external editing applications accessed by the touchup object tool.
Note:
Acrobat comments—even though they have a graphic appearance—are not
considered page elements and therefore cannot be selected or manipulated by touchup
tools.
The touchup object tool context menu enables you to perform some editing tasks without
launching an external editing application:
•
Cut removes the selected graphic object from the PDF document and places it on the
clipboard.
•
Copy copies a selected graphic object onto the clipboard.
•
Paste places a graphic object from the clipboard into a select object, or onto the
document page.
•
Paste in Front places a graphic object from the clipboard in front of the topmost
selected object, or on top of everything on the document page if nothing is selected.
•
Paste in Back places a graphic object from the clipboard in back of the bottommost
selected object, or behind everything on the document page if nothing is selected.
•
Delete removes any selected graphic objects from the document.
•
Select All selects all graphic objects on the document page.
•
Select None deselects any selected graphic objects in the PDF document.
