Move or edit an object

A selected object usually shows a bounding box. Selection handles appear when the pointer is over the object. When the pointer is over a locked object, no selection handles appear. When you select multiple objects, the last object you select becomes the anchor and appears red; the others appear blue. The anchor object remains stationary during alignment operations.

To make another object in the selection the anchor object, Ctrl/Option-click the new target object twice, once to remove the object from the selection, and once to add it back to the selection. As the last object added to the selection, it becomes the anchor object.

When objects of the same type are selected and the selection covers multiple pages, you can change the appearance of the objects but not move them.

When you edit a text box, the entire text box is selected; however, the TouchUp Object tool cannot select individual characters that are part of larger text blocks. You must use the TouchUp Text tool to edit individual characters and words.

Use the Select Object tool to select and move objects such as form fields and links.

Use the TouchUp Object tool to select and move placed images, text blocks, and embedded objects.
