to move selected text to another place in the same page

Post by adiva »

Hi, I can't move text to another place in the same page.
I have tried many time to select it but I can't move it!

The only thing I can do is, after selected text, use arrange=>transform... tools and then,
change x or y coordinates... it's a frighteningly slow operation! :shock:

Can you help me?
Thank you

Hello Adiva,
This kind of function would depend on the content type that the text is. Could I ask you to please send us a copy of the document so that I can provide appropriate instructions?
If the document contains sensitive data, please send it to us via email instead <support@pdf-xchange.com> with a link to this forum thread.

Thank you!

Thanks a lot for the answer. Please publish it online.
In future versions of the program I invite you to make this feature easier to use.
Thanks :D

Hello Adiva,

No worries, I am Glad that we were able to help.
For any other users who may be experiencing issues moving content, please see below:
Moving text in this document would be done with the "Edit > text" tool:

Once this is selected, single click on the text section you wish to move, and you will see a border around it, as well as a small dot in the center:

If you hover the mouse over this small dot, you can then move the text as desired.
Kind regards,
