Preview app: Add text annotation with left justify?

For god sakes fix this.

Apple, you release an itunes fix every 4 hours.

Thanks for the Pages suggested, it worked well. Thank god I own a copy.......

All,

Here's a solution using Pages instead of Preview:

- Start a new Pages document using page layout mode.
- Drag the PDF into Pages.
- Use the Text Box tool to annotate the PDF. You can now have left justified text.

I'm in full agreement that it's totally silly that Preview forces you to use center-justified text. Just plain silly, Apple!

Have you found a good workaround for multipage PDF? I had to drop a 12 page PDF in page by page (time consuming to resize each page) and my annotations from Preview were not carried over. But I was able to cobble together some decent annotations with this method.

Thanks

Where there's a will there's a way! I agree, it's not possible w/Preview. I spent my whole day on this issue. Finally, I found a free program that converts PDFs to Word, and they look like they are suppose to. Here's the link.

Hi,

Just another brick in the wall.

Hope the rumour that it is coming in Lion is true!

Please add this feature.

3 words... LOL

such a simple feature is nonexistent from a company that charges a premium

IMHO adobe pro >>> preview; u can do so much MUCH more with adobe pro than u can with preview

one of the many reasons why it's time to switch back to win7

This is true. But considering the cost of Acrobat Pro compared to Preview this should be self-evident. Unfortunately it's not reasonable to say Preview is the price of the Mac, because you have to buy the Mac (or Windows.. whatever) to use Acrobat too.. No way I'm touching Acrobat with a 40-foot pole though. Half the reason preview is so great is that you don't rely on Adobe bloatware.

At any rate, +1 for Left Alignment request. It's pretty gobsmacking this isn't included.. Preview is awesome compared to any of the built in Windows junk but this oversight is ridiculous.

They fixed it in Lion!!!!!!

Thank God my need to annotate on computers instead of on paper coincided with this finally being implemented and also my need to replace a 5-year old computer.

I hope this works as just as well for the rest of you.
