Foxit PhantomPDF Quick Guide

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.
1. Run Form Field Recognition
Open the PDF file in Foxit PhantomPDF. Click Form tab and select Run Form Field
Recognition. Foxit PhantomPDF looks for boxes, underlines, and other cues in your
file that indicate a place to enter information and changes them into text fields and
check boxes. All fillable fields in the document will be recognized and highlighted.
Note: To run form recognition automatically when a PDF is opened in Foxit PhantomPDF,
please click File > Preferences > Forms, and check the option “Run form recognition when
creating PDF in PhantomPDF application”.
2. Inspect and correct the form results with Designer Assistant
Because the recognition process is not always perfect, you’ll need to clean up your
forms, add missing fields, adjust default font settings, and other general clean up
duties to correct any errors. With the Designer Assistant and other Form Field
commands, you can easily complete all the operations above because the Designer
Assistant command can inspect corresponding form fields and change the settings
automatically. You can modify the name directly in the pop-up box and click “All
Properties” to change the settings. See also: Creating form fields.
Note: Click File > Preferences > Forms, check the option “Open Properties box after
creating field”.
