To add a standard bullet point (•) in a PDF editor, you can typically use a keyboard shortcut within a text field.
Inserting a Standard Bullet Character (•)
If you are working within a text box or an area in your PDF editor where you can type, you can insert a standard bullet character using a simple Alt code shortcut. This method adds the bullet symbol directly at the cursor's location.
Based on the provided information, here is the process:
- Place your cursor in the text box or the exact spot in the PDF where you want the bullet point to appear.
- On your keyboard, hold down the
Alt
key. - While keeping the
Alt
key pressed, type the number sequence0149
using the numeric keypad on the right side of your keyboard. - Release the
Alt
key.
This action will insert the standard bullet point character (•) into your document at the cursor's position. This technique is useful for adding individual bullets to create lists within text areas of your PDF.
Understanding the Alt Code
Alt codes are special key combinations used to type characters that aren't shown on the standard part of your keyboard. The sequence Alt + 0149
is the specific code for the bullet character (•) in many Windows applications, including text fields you might use in a PDF editor.
Important Consideration
It's important to note that using the Alt code Alt + 0149
inserts just a single character. This method does not enable automatic bulleted list formatting, where the software would handle indentation or automatically add a new bullet when you press Enter. For each bullet point you need, you will repeat this process.
