Fill in PDF forms
Foxit PhantomPDF supports Interactive PDF Form (Acro Form and XFA Form) and Non-
interactive PDF Form. You can fill in Interactive forms with the Hand command . For non-
interactive PDF forms, you can use the Fill & Sign tools under the Fill & Sign tab to add text
or other symbols. When filling non-interactive PDF forms with the Fill & Sign tools, use the
field toolbar or resize handles to adjust the size of the added text or symbols to make them
appropriately fit in the form fields.
Foxit PhantomPDF supports the auto-complete feature, which enables you to fill in PDF
forms quickly and easily. It will store the history of your form inputs, and then suggest
matches when you fill out other forms in the future. The matches will be displayed in a
drop-down list. To enable auto-complete feature, please go to File > Preferences > Forms,
and select Basic or Advanced from the Auto-Complete drop-down list. Check the
Remember numerical data option to store numerical entries as well, otherwise, only text
entries will be remembered.
Comment on forms
You can comment on PDF forms, just like any other PDFs. You can add comments only
when the form creator has extended these rights to the users. See also Comment.
