Annotation Editor

When you configure an approval step that places stamps, signature boxes, or text annotations onto a PDF, the annotation editor is where you position them. The editor includes layout tooling so multi-annotation pages come out clean and consistent — no pixel-nudging one box at a time.

Selecting Annotations

• Single select — click any annotation box.
• Multi-select — hold Shift and click additional boxes to add them to the selection.
• Marquee select — click and drag on empty canvas to draw a selection rectangle; every box it touches becomes selected.

With two or more boxes selected, the layout controls appear in a floating control bar by the selection and in the right-hand panel.

Aligning Annotations

Alignment works relative to the bounding box of the current selection:

• Horizontal — align left edges, horizontal centers, or right edges.
• Vertical — align top edges, vertical middles, or bottom edges.

Select the boxes that should line up, then click the alignment you want — for example, align-left to produce a tidy column of signature fields.

Distributing Annotations

With three or more boxes selected, distribution tools space them evenly:

• Distribute horizontally — equal horizontal gaps between boxes.
• Distribute vertically — equal vertical gaps between boxes.

The outermost boxes stay where they are; the boxes between them are repositioned to even out the spacing.

Fine Positioning with the Keyboard

• Arrow keys — nudge the selected box (or boxes) one small step in any direction.
• Shift + arrow keys — nudge in larger steps for faster coarse positioning.
