Add or remove items from a numbered or bulleted list
You can add items to a numbered or bulleted list.
1 Choose Tools > Edit PDF > Edit .
The content that is part of a single list is displayed in one bounding box, including the text and the bullets or
numbers.
2 You can add or remove items to the list at all nested levels using the same familiar controls that you use in MS Office.
For example, press Enter at the end of a list item to insert a new row. Press Backspace to remove the new row and
position the cursor back to the end of previous list item.
Upon adding or removing an item to the list, the list formatting adjusts automatically.
Add new text to a PDF
You can add or insert new text into a PDF using any of the fonts installed on the system.
1 Select Tools > Edit PDF > Add Text .
2 Drag to define the width of the text block you want to add.
3 For vertical text, right-click the text box, and choose Make Text Direction Vertical.
4 The Add text tool intelligently detects the following text properties of text close to the point of click:
• Font name, size, and color
• Character, paragraph, and line spacing
• Horizontal scaling
These text properties are automatically applied to the text that you add at the point of click.
You can change the text properties using the options under Format in the right hand pane.
5 Type the text.
6 To resize the text box, drag a selection handle.
7 To move the text box, place the pointer over the line of the bounding box (avoid the selection handles). When the
cursor changes to Move pointer
, drag the box to the new location. To maintain alignment with the other list
items, press Shift as you drag.
Move, rotate, or resize a text box
You can move or rotate text boxes on a page. The Edit Text & Images tool outlines each text box, so it is clear what text
is affected. Edits are confined to the page. You cannot drag a text block to another page, or move or rotate individual
characters or words within a text box. However, you can copy text boxes and paste them on another page.
Resizing a text box causes the text to reflow within the new text box boundaries. It does not change the size of the text.
To change the font size, see
Edit or format text in a PDF. As with other text edits, resizing is limited to the current page.
Text does not flow to the next page.
