Bluebeam Tip: Enhancing PDF Form Readability with Bluebeam Revu's Data Alignment Tool

Optimizing the alignment of data within form fields in Bluebeam Revu enhances the readability and professionalism of your PDF forms. Using the PDF Form Field Data Alignment Tool, you can ensure that the text within your form fields is consistently aligned, providing a clean appearance.

To use the PDF Form Field Data Alignment Tool:

  • Open your PDF form in Bluebeam Revu.
  • Select the Forms panel by clicking on the Forms icon, or go to Tools > Form > Show.
  • Select the form field(s) you wish to align. You can select multiple fields by holding down the Shift key while clicking on each field.
  • Right-click on the selected field(s) and choose Properties.
  • In the Properties panel, locate the Alignment option.
  • Choose the desired alignment:
    • Left: Aligns text to the left side of the field.
    • Center: Centers text within the field.
    • Right: Aligns text to the right side of the field.

By adjusting the alignment settings, you can standardize the appearance of data entry fields, making it easier for users to fill out forms accurately.

Additional tips:

  • Use the alignment tools to align the form fields themselves on the page for a uniform layout. With multiple form fields selected, use the Align options in the Forms panel.
  • You can save time by setting default properties for form fields, ensuring consistency across your documents.
  • Consider using gridlines or guidelines to help position fields precisely.
