Creating PDF Forms

To create form fields in your document:

Create or open existing document in Nitro Pro.

Click on the Forms tab > Text Field.

Click and drag on the PDF to create a text field.

Right-click the field you created > Properties. Here you can adjust different parts of the field such as appearance and format of the text under the following tabs:

General - Allows you to adjust common properties of the field such as name, visibility, orientation, and requirement toggles.

Appearance- Allows you to change the font, size, and color of the text and the border and fill colors of the actual field.

Options - Allows you to change the alignment and wrap options of the text. **If 'Multi-line' is checked, the text will wrap in the field.

Format - Allows you to format the value of the text such as percentage, time, date, etc.

Validate - Allows you to specify the range the value must be in or other qualifications of the text must meet to be entered in the field.

Calculate - Allows you to set the resulting value of the field from a calculation of others.

Actions - Allows you to add an action as a result of a trigger on the field (such as a click). Actions are listed under the 'select action' drop down.

** You can also hold shift and click on multiple fields you created, then right-click one of them to adjust the properties of all of them.
