Simultaneous move several annotation elements?

Post by bob_sun »

Hi,

How can I quickly move a number of annotated elements from one page into another, or from one location on a specific page to another location on the same page?

For example, I might have put more than 20 typewriter contents on the left margin of page 100, and for some reason I would like to move all of them to the right margin of the same page. If I move each of them manually, it would be inefficient and very difficult to preserve the original relative spacing between them. However, I found the lack of ability to simultaneously selecting a number of such elements.

Could anyone advise solutions here?

Hello Bob,

It's not currently possible to select multiple objects in our Viewer. This feature will be coming in ver3 of the same.
Until then the only way to "copy" more than one annotation is to export and then import them back - but this will only work if you want them to be on the same page(s) and in the same positions in the target document as they were in the original, and won't help in your case.

We have a KB article on the process here:
How do I export comments into another document

Best,
Stefan
