Snapping tab


Snapping is a feature that helps you align and position objects precisely within your PDF document. It makes it easier to create professional-looking layouts and designs by ensuring that objects snap to specific locations on the page.

Why Use Snapping?


Snapping options:

Snap by default (hold Ctrl to disable snapping)
When this option is selected, snapping is enabled by default, meaning objects will automatically align with snap points.
Hold the Ctrl key while performing actions to temporarily disable snapping for precise adjustments.

Don't snap by default (hold Ctrl to enable snapping)
When this option is selected, snapping is disabled by default, allowing for free-form object placement.
Hold the Ctrl key while performing actions to temporarily enable snapping when needed for accurate alignment.

Enable snapping for small move distances
When this checkbox is selected, snapping will activate even for small movements of objects, ensuring precise alignment.

Show snapping guidelines
When this checkbox is selected, snapping guidelines will be displayed, providing visual cues for object alignment. Helpful for users who prefer visual references to aid in accurate object placement.


Snap behavior:

Align with Nearby Elements
When this checkbox is selected, objects will snap to align with nearby elements, ensuring consistent alignment along the same axis. Useful for maintaining uniformity in layouts by aligning objects with existing elements.

Center Between Nearby Elements
When this checkbox is selected, objects will snap to the center between nearby elements, providing precise centering. Ideal for achieving balanced compositions by centering objects between existing elements.

Repeat Spacing Between Elements
When this checkbox is selected, objects will snap to repeat the spacing between nearby elements, maintaining consistent intervals.
Valuable for creating evenly spaced rows or columns of objects.
