12.5 Editing, aligning and spacing multiple fields
Nitro PDF Professional allows you to select multiple form fields, meaning you can edit common appearance
properties and fix alignment issues faster. You can edit the alignment via the Alignment context tab or
context ('right-click') menu. To edit the appearance of multiple form fields, you can use the Properties
context tab or Properties dialog.
Tip: You can select multiple field types using the Edit All Fields tool. Once you've selected it,
either click and drag the marquee around the fields to select them all, or click on fields (while
holding down Ctrl) to select them one at a time.
