I have always used Expert PDF from “Avanquest” which only works on the Windows platform.
Now I have the Mac
I tried the Trial version that you provide.
I looked for the menu that allows you to place numbers and characters at exactly the same height as the lines of text or other in the PDF document, but I didn't find it.
In Expert PDF positioning yourself anywhere on the page you have the menu that tells you exactly the distance in height and width from the edges of the sheet.
Exists?
Thanks for reply

With the latest version of PDFElement, when you position yourself on the part of the page where to insert the text or number, horizontal and vertical lines automatically appear to help align the text and to know precisely the distance from the margins.
