Scale and position buttons in Acrobat

  1. Select the Button tool  or the Select Object tool .
  2. Double-click an existing button to open the Button Properties dialog box.
  3. Click the Options tab, select one of the icon options from the Layout menu, and then click Advanced.
  4. Select an option from the When to Scale menu:
    Option Description
    Always

    Scales the icon as defined regardless of its size in relation to the button size.
    Never

    Preserves the icon’s original size; the button border crops the icon if it doesn’t fit. If Never is selected, scale options aren’t available.
    Icon Is Too Big

    Scales the icon as defined only if it is larger than the button.
    Icon Is Too Small

    Scales the icon as defined only if it is smaller than the button.
  5. From the Scale menu, select whether or not to scale the icon proportionally. If the icon is scaled nonproportionally, it may be skewed.
  6. To make sure that either the top and bottom or left and right sides of the icon are flush against the button edges, select Fit To Bounds.
  7. To define where the icon is placed inside the button, drag the slider arrows. Icon placement is defined according to the percentage of space preserved between the icon and the left field boundary, and between the icon and the bottom field boundary. The default setting (50, 50) places the icon in the middle of a field. You can click Reset at any time to revert to the default placement setting.
  8. Click OK, and then click Close.
