Creating PDF forms
Adding form fields
A series of form fields can be added to the page, depending on the type of form
you want to create. Typically a mix of form fields will make up your finished
form design.
Fields are created from the Form toolbar or via Insert>Form Field. You assign
an internal unique name to each field and then set a variety of properties. Each
form field has its own set of Form Field Properties which can be modified to suit
your form implementation.
The Form toolbar is turned off by default. Display it by
going to View>Toolbars>Form.
Form field names can contain "+", "-", "_", but no special
characters.
