Tip: Aligning form fields to the grid

To create a uniform layout for form fields, use the function "Align to the grid":

On the ribbon tab View | group View | Grid and guides dropdown_arrow, enable the commands Show Grid and Snap to grid. You can then let the form field objects "snap" to the lines of the grid when moving them.

Note: Grids only appear in FlexiPDF and are not visible in other PDF viewers.
