How to Fill Out Forms in PDFs?

 

PDF files have been seen everywhere in our lives. Due to its irreplaceable advantages, more and more forms are also using PDF format. Some people think PDF forms are great. Forms that you have crafted yourself will no longer be messed up by recipients for external reasons, such as compatibility. Others argue that while the format has become fixed, it has also become hard to change.

 

Now we need to understand why your PDF form cannot be edited directly. This type of form is usually a normal PDF file with lines and text that cannot be filled directly. Also known as a non-interactive PDF form. The other category is PDF files with fillable fields. You can fill out forms directly by clicking on the form fields, also known as interactive PDF forms. Regardless of the type of form, PDF Reader Pro can help you easily fill out what you need.

 

 

Click Form in the toolbar and you will see the following.

 

Text Field: Allows the users to type text, such as a name, an address, or a phone number.

 

Check box: Displays Yes or No selections for individual items. If the form contains more than one check box, the users can usually select it as needed.

 

Radio Button: Displays a set of options from which the user can select only one. All radio buttons with the same name work together as a group.

 

List Box: Displays a list of options that the users can select, or type a value.

 

Combo Box: Allows the users to select an item from the pop-up menu, or type a value. 

 

Button: Promotes changes on the user's computer, such as page jumps and web page jumps. These buttons can be customized through visible changes triggered by mouse action.

 

Signature: Adds your signature to the form after clicking on the signature field element.

 

The above series of tools can meet all your form filling needs. Now someone might ask, how do I create my own form besides filling it out? PDF Reader Pro can also help you create personal forms from scratch. You can create a form using one of the following methods:

 

• Convert existing electronic documents, such as Microsoft Word or Excel documents, to PDF format.

• Scan the paper form and convert it to PDF format.

 

After converting an existing document to PDF format, you can add fields to convert it to a tabular form.
