In order to work with forms, choose View > Toolbars > Form Editing.

Adding a field

To add a new form field, select a field type from the toolbar (see Forms toolbar) then drag-out the shape of the new field.

Moving & resizing fields

To move or re-shape a form field, first press any of the form toolbar buttons then click on the field to select it. Use the handles in the corners of the field to resize it or drag it with the mouse pointer to move it to another position.

Field labels

To add a label to a field, use the Text tool  from the main editing toolbar (not the forms toolbar) and drag-out a new text box.

Field options

To configure a form-field, ensure one of the field-type tools is active in the forms toolbar then double-click on the form field. Alternatively hover over a field with either the Hand tool , Object tool  or any field-type tool selected, right-click and choose Properties

Tip

To help get consistent sizing and layout of form elements, use the "snap-to-grid" feature.

Choose View > Grids & Guides > Snap to Grid and View > Grids & Guides > Show Grid.

Grids only appear in PDF Pro 2 and will not be visible in other PDF viewers.
