Align Tools, Copy Tools and Smart Positioning
After you
create new PDF objects , you may need to rearrange, resize, move
or copy them to give the page a cleaner, more professional look.
To make
adjustments in the layout of new PDFill Objects, there are three
arranging tools (Align Tools, Copy Tools and Smart Positioning) to arrange
and align objects on a document page. With these tools, you
can easily align multiple objects to the left, the right,
vertically, horizontally, to the top and to the bottom. You can
update the properties of the selected objects and send objects to the "back" or bring objects to the
"front" like Microsoft Word.
