Learn how to format paragraphs by adjusting alignment, line and paragraph spacing, first line indent, and adding bullet or numbered lists. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for organizing and customizing your text.
- Paragraph Alignment

- Bullet Points/Numbered Lists
Any paragraph formatting options will only be applied to the text box you are working on.
- Open the Edit tab.
- Switch into Edit Mode.
Paragraph Alignment
You can align the text inside a text box. You can align text to the left, right, and center. You can also pace out your text with the justification option.
- Select the text you want to align.
- Choose the alignment option.
Line Spacing
The Line Spacing tool will control the distance above and below lines of text.
- Select the text that should be impacted.
- Click the dropdown and choose an option (or enter a number manually).
First Line Indent
The first line indent option will replicate the experience of starting a new paragraph, where the first word has a space before it. This feature makes it much easier for users to identify when paragraphs start. You will need to select all paragraphs in a text block to make this change.
- Select each paragraph that needs a first-line indent.
- Choose an option from the dropdown or type a number into the box.
Space Between Paragraphs
Similar to line spacing, the space between paragraphs feature will let you control the space between the paragraphs in a text box.
- Select all the paragraphs in your text box.
- Choose an option from the dropdown or type a number into the box.
Bullet Points/Numbered Lists
PDF Suite will let you create bullet points or numbered lists. To prepare your list, you'll need to separate each item into its own paragraph. Make sure to hit the Enter key at the end of each entry to your list to start a new paragraph.
You can use the Space Between Paragraphs setting to manage the distance between your bullet point list.
- Select each line of text for your list.
- Choose the dropdown for bullet points and pick one from the list.
- Otherwise, choose the numbered list option and pick the appropriate formatting.
