Hi,
I placed 10 Text boxes (from Comment tab) and corresponding Text field (from Form tab). Now, I want to move them to a different position on the same page. The issue is I cannot select all text boxes and text fields so that I can move them in one go. I had to select 10 text boxes, move to the desire location, then repeat the same for 10 text fields. Is there any way to select them in one-go?
Thanks

Hi,
Unfortunately, it is not possible at this moment to select comments together with form fields, nor with base content.
It has been asked already several times in the past, but it seems to not be an easy task for the developers to make that work.
See: viewtopic.php?t=45773
So, for the time being, you will have to move these items separately.
By the way, when developing fillable pdf-forms, you can better use base content text (via the Home-ribbon > Add > Add Text) instead of comment text for the accompanying information besides the form fields.
Kind regards.
Willy

Hello Willy Van Nuffel,
Thanks for the reply and suggestions!
@ kenH - Willy is correct that at the moment you have to move comments, base content and form objects separately using their respective tools.
Kind regards,
Stefan
