Was trying to help a friend who was designing a book in AcrobatPro on a Windows PC. We didn’t know how to turn the grid on, so I searched for a tutorial video. (She was centering heads by hand, and I could not get AcrobatPro’s grid system to created an accurate center line.) Yours was the third video we looked at- and the one that we followed. The other folks all talked fast and rushed through the instructions, and we had to keep stopping and replaying. But, as I frequently use self-help videos, I know that you have “shop around” for the one that’s right for your needs. When I got home, I found you also have an equally nice *written* version with screenshots, that I will be sending her the link. So thank you so much for your calm, reassuring approach. (Us older folk appreciate this.)

Thanks for this. I may be missing it but I can't seem to find directions for simple tasks like in any of the Adobe tutorials.

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! What tasks are you interested in learning about? I have a existing collection of Acrobat tutorials and plan to make many more in the future, so I am always open to suggestions.

Thank you so much, it's relly helps me to understand the snap to grid function. I was very confused on how do I manage sizes of the text boxes, so because I have kept "snap to grid "option on I am struggling to set sizes of the text boxes. Your video helps me. thanks again. ☺🙏

Can you print with a grid on the image? I want one on my battle maps for D&D

[@erinwrightwriting]

That is an interesting question! The grid lines in Adobe Acrobat won't print. However, you could take a screenshot and then paste the image back into another program where it would be easier to crop, such as Word, Paint, Photoshop, etc. Thank you for watching!

My Acrobat doesn't look like this :(

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! Adobe recently changed the Acrobat interface. If you are using the new interface, you can access the grid by selecting Menu (top left corner) > View > Show/Hide > Rulers & Grids.
