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.

create and display 2D barcode that contains form data.

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
