    Left /Top/Right/Bottom

    These values correspond to the left, right, top, and bottom margins of the overlay in pixels and define how the overlay will appear over the document. You can type positive or negative values into the margin fields. You may need to try several combinations of margin configurations before the overlay fits the document correctly.

To access the dialog box, right-click and select Overlay Settings after enabling the display of the overlay.
