When you use Image Alignment, common questions usually involve button status, alignment reference positions, and multi-image layout handling; the answers below help you troubleshoot quickly.
FAQ
Why is the Align button grayed out?
- Make sure you have opened an editable PDF file.
- Click the image so it is selected.
- Check whether you are in the image editing workflow.
- If editing is still unavailable, confirm that your account has PDF editing access.
What does image alignment align to?
- Image alignment is used to place images against the page boundary or a shared alignment direction.
- For example, left alignment places the left side of the image in line with the page's left-side direction.
- Before you apply the command, review the page layout and choose the alignment option that fits your design.
How do I keep multiple images in the same position?
- Hold Ctrl and select multiple images.
- Open the options under the Align button.
- Choose one alignment option so all selected images move together.
Why did only one image move after I tried to align multiple images?
- Check whether you actually selected more than one image before running the command.
- If only one image is selected, the alignment command affects only that image.
- Select multiple images again with Ctrl, then run the alignment command again.
