Edit Align and Space Multiple Fields

Nitro Pro allows you to select multiple form fields, meaning you can edit common appearance properties and fix alignment issues faster. You can edit the alignment via the Alignment context tab or context (‘right-click’) menu. To edit the appearance of multiple form fields, you can use the Properties context tab or Properties dialog.

 

TIP: You can select multiple field types using the Select Fields tool. Once you’ve selected it, either click and drag the marquee around the fields to select them all, or click on fields (while holding down Ctrl) to select them one at a time.
