During PDF markup, I select to add a text box. Every time I add a text box, the new one appears lower and to the right than the previous text box, now the new text boxes are being added off of the screen completely. Zooming out does not do anything. Is there a way to set a specific location for the new text boxes to appear so I am not chasing them all over the **** screen?

Had the same problem. Only way I could fix it was to save, close and then reopen the PDF. Would love to know how to really solve the problem

It is up to you to fill that current text box and position it before you introduce others. And yes, they will downward-right cascade until the first text box reaches the edge of the page, where it remains half on and off. Further introduction of text boxes will then stack vertically down the right edge of the page. Each of these is addressable in the Preview Annotations list from the Inspector, and clicking on an entry there, selects the respective text box in the document.
Alternatively, once you insert one text box, you can press the option key and drag on it to duplicate it, fill that, and position it.
On the toolbar of Preview, there is an inspector tool. Either click that, or enter ⌘+i to open it. There will be five toolbar icons on the Inspector panel, and you want to click the right-most one, as it lists the annotations that you have applied in page order.
The annotations shown in the Inspector that are your text boxes bear that name, so starting with the last one, select them individually, or in multiples using with the ⌘-key, and press back space to remove the these annotations from the PDF.
There is a Preview User Guide available.
Thank you for your response. This however does not solve my issue, as before, I select to add a new text box, the new text box appears off screen and cannot be selected with the mouse. Is there a way to select a portion of the screen for new text boxes to appear or do they still continue with a down at right manner?
