Fill-out and save forms
Nitro Pro 7 lets you fill-out interactive PDF forms, which are designed for you to enter data into fields. To fill-out the fields of an interactive form, use the Hand Tool to click into the form fields.
Static forms do not contain interactive form fields. They are non-interactive because they are scanned from a paper form, or created in Word or other applications. To fill-out the fields of a static form, use the Type Text tool.
To fill out a digital form that has interactive fields:
-
Open the PDF form in Nitro Pro 7
-
With any tool selected, click once in a form field to type text, and to make selections using the various types of form elements like checkboxes, radio buttons, drop down lists, and so on
-
Use your mouse to click and select the next field, or the Tab key to automatically move the cursor to the next field
|
NOTE: To fill out the fields of an interactive form, use the Hand Tool to click into the form fields. To fill out the fields of a static form, use the Type Text tool. |
| TIP: When form fields are detected in a PDF document, Nitro Reader 2 highlights the fields and shows a message in the Information Bar above the document tabs. |
| TIP: If a form requires your signature, you can use the QuickSign tool to stamp an image of your signature on the form. For more information, see Stamp your signature with QuickSign. |
To save a form:
After you fill out a form, do one of the following:
-
In the File menu, click Save or Flattened PDF
-
To save the form under a different name or to a different location, under the File menu click Save As. You can then rename the PDF and save it in a different location.
To reset a form:
To delete all the content of a form to start over, on the Home tab, in the Forms group, press Reset Fields. All interactive form elements such as fields and buttons will reset to their default state.
