Editing Text

You can use the Edit tool to update and move existing blocks of text as a paragraph bound within a container, making it so you don’t need to manage individual lines. As you edit text or resize the bounding-box while editing, text re-flows naturally onto adjacent lines.

How to Edit Text:

    1. Click the Edit button located on the left-hand side of the ribbon.
  1. Click into the text, and position the cursor where you want to insert or edit text.
    • As you type, the bounding-box resizes itself to fit text
    • When you click into the text, the Format context ribbon appears
    • In the Edit Tool panel you can switch between editing whole paragraphs or just lines only
  2. Highlighting text with your mouse reveals the floating toolbar that allows you to change the font, case, color, and size of the text.
  3. When you have finished editing the text, do one of the following:
    • Press Escape
    • Click once somewhere else on the page
    • Click Finish on the ribbon
  4. If spell check highlights an error, right-click the text to see a spelling suggestion.

Note: If you enter a character with a font that not installed, Nitro Pro automatically tries to select a font with a similar appearance. You may notice the font name change while you edit text. If Nitro Pro cannot determine a related font, it uses a generic font. We advise you to confirm that selected fonts are similar in appearance, and apply another font if necessary.

How to Move Text or Images:

    1. Click the Edit button located on the left-hand side of the ribbon
    2. Click once on the text or image that you want to move to see the light blue bounding-box
    3. Drag the bounding-box to a new location, or use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the bounding-box in small increments

How to Delete a Paragraph or Image:

    1. Click the Edit button located on the left-hand side of the ribbon
    2. Click once on the bounding-box of the paragraph or the image that you want to delete
    3. Press Delete OR right-click on the text, then select Delete from the menu.
