Step 1. Open PDF with PDFelement

Begin by launching PDFelement from your desktop. Once the program starts up, open the PDF file you want to edit. You can simply click "Open File" from the home window then select the file you want to import for editing. Alternatively, you can drag-and-drop to import it.

Step 2. Move an Object

With the PDF file open in the program window, click the "Edit" button in the upper left corner. You can click on images, frames, or other objects in the document to move and align them.

Move an Object by Dragging: To reposition an image or frame, click on the image or frame to select it then drag it with your mouse to move it to the correct place.
Move an Object Using Arrow Keys: You can also use the Arrow keys on your keyboard to reposition the object once it's selected.
Align Objects with Alignment Options: You can select multiple objects by holding the Ctrl key as you select them. The Alignment options and Distribute Options will be enabled at this time to choose from.

Step 3. Save Your PDF File

After you move objects in PDF and make the necessary adjustments and performing any other edits that you require, save the document by navigating to "File > Save As > Browse" and then enter an appropriate title for the file. And there you have it! That is how you move and align PDF objects with PDFelement.
