Text underlining

Post by Atrio »

Hi there, I would like to know if there is any way (either in the Viewer or the Editor)

1. to change the size (usually expressed in points) of the underlining stripe.
2. to distance it a bit from the text it is intended to mark.

Help appreciated!

Hi, Atrio

Unfortunately no, it is not possible to specify the details like this, Underlines should be automatically generated based on the font and size of the text at hand, as you can see here:

If you need more control, the best option would be to use the "Line" tool, and hold Shift during placement to keep it aligned on the horizontal axis.

Hi Daniel,

thanks for your reply.

That might be a useful improvement for future installments of the Editor.

Hi, Atrio

We may consider it in the future, but I cannot make any promises, as I do believe this is something defined by the PDF Specification.
