Preview - Added Text to PDFs

Hi,

I love the new feature of adding text directly in preview but it seems to be fixed in a centre alignment. I hoped to use it to fill in some PDF forms and would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to align the text to the left.

Thanks.

Jdr77: Normally you should be able to type right into the picture by selecting the "text box" icon which appears in the Notes Tool Bar at the very bottom of your window. The icon shows a little "Aa" in red, within a small box. If you are not able to see this, then maybe you should upgrade your version of the OS.

For others, I know that it's no help for resolving the actual problem here, but to fill in PDF forms it's pretty easy to import each page in a Pages document, align them to the top and left of the document, put them as background images and then to fill them out directly in Pages.
