Preview app: Add text annotation with left justify?

Just wanted to add that I was using preview to try and add text to a pdf form that did not have form fields and found that it was extremely annoying that it only had center alignment! i mean wouldn't it just be more more simple if it was left? or if there were a choice?
just adding my voice to the frustration!

I see that this has been a problem for at least 8 years and I can't believe that something so simple as being able to align text to the left, which commonsense would say should be the default, is not available.

The inability to align text makes the functionality of annotations better than nothing, but just by a hair.

I hope their iNotebook/iSlate, or whatever they're going to call it has a better user interface than Preview does.

I thought it was just me! Come on, Apple. This is silly. Default center justified? No option to change it?

I encourage everyone to go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and request this feature

Please add left align. There are a handful of obvious items like this that have been overlooked by Apple.

Adding my $.02 here as well. Where's the option to left justify annotated text in preview?

yes could be VERY useful if we can align the text...

Trying to complete a job application and need to left justify too. This really should be addressed as an issue asap

I can't even annotate with text at all. Typing isn't an option in my menu. Is there such a thing as an older Preview version that doesn't include text annotation?

Unbelievable. I was certain I was going to find that this was yet another case of an Apple feature being so 'intuitive' that it was indeterminable. But it turns out that we really cannot annotate text and have it left justified.

Hey, Apple, get on this one...

One more person who feels the same. I am trying to fill .pdfs for my National Certification and I can't left justify. Come on, Apple, you are better than that!

Another annoyed user trying to fill out a job application....Come on.

One more vote for left align feature.

Also, I wish I could change the default text box size, and copy and paste annotation text boxes rather than creating a new one and pasting the text inside.

Not being able to justify (left, right, etc.) text annotations is probably representative of the fact that no-one in Apple (or at least the Preview team) uses this feature for filling in PDF forms.

So now I have to fire up (and I'm lucky enough to be able to fire up) Acrobat Pro, the overweight and clumsy piece of software that it is.

Come on Apple eat-your-own-dog-food.

Cheers,
Ashley.

Another vote for left justification (or full control) of annotations in Preview.
