data. You can also export form data to append to an existing CSV file or combine multiple
PDF forms to a CSV file. However, this function will only work for PDF interactive forms.
Foxit PhantomPDF provides users with the Reset Form command to reset the form. In
addition, for PDF forms with Ultraform technology, Foxit PhantomPDF enables users to
create and display 2D barcode that contains form data.
Create and edit forms
With Foxit PhantomPDF, you can create interactive forms. You are able to add push buttons,
text fields, check boxes, combo boxes, list boxes, radio buttons, signature fields, image
fields, date fields, or barcode fields to create an interactive PDF form and specify their
properties. You can also set a PDF page as a page template, which is very useful in
designing extensible forms where users can quickly add the page template to a PDF by
creating a button with Java scripts. To make a form more accessible, you can click Add
Tooltip to add tooltips automatically for all form fields which does not have descriptions.
Creating form fields
Here take the Push Button as an example. You can create this button by selecting it in the
Form Fields group. You can move, resize, and delete the Push button by selecting the
Select Annotation command . You can set the button properties to determine the
button appearance, actions and behaviors, and other form field settings.
Note: For the radio buttons in a group, they should have the same form field name but with
different export values. This ensures that the radio buttons toggle and that the correct values
will be collected in the database.
Form Recognition
Foxit PhantomPDF provides Semi-Automated PDF Form Design features for users to
easily develop interactive PDF forms. Normally, users need a way to define the form fields
directly in their design layout or scanned file. Run Form Field Recognition is an important
command and can save the user’s time in creating interactive PDF forms.
