Forms toolbar

Available in FlexiPDF Professional

In order to create or edit interactive forms, choose View > Toolbars > Form Editing.

Text field
Used for entering one or more lines of text. The text can be a password, in which case its contents are obscured as they are entered.
Button field
A button with any label. The button can perform various different actions, including sending the forms answers to a web site or resetting certain other form fields.

If the form data is transferred to a website, the HTTP POST method is used. Parameter pairs are generated from the form objects. The key of a parameter is always the name of the respective form object, the value of a parameter corresponds to the current content of the form object. If, for example, the word "softmaker" is entered in a text field with the name "company", the corresponding parameter "company=softmaker" is generated during transmission.
Checkbox
Checkboxes are appropriate for yes/no entries. If the user clicks on a checkbox, a check mark is displayed in it. If he clicks on it again, the check mark is removed.
Combo-box
Presents a list of choices. You can also allow the user to enter their own choice if not shown in the list.
Choice (radio) button
Allows the user to press one button from a number of button choices. Radio buttons are automatically grouped – only one button may be active in any group. To change the group of a radio-button, double-click the button and select a different group in the General tab.
List box
Like a combo box, but doesn't allow the user to enter their own choice.

Export form data
Writes the answers and button states in the form to file as either XML or FDF format data. These format can be read by third-party programs that need to make use of the form data.
Input form data
Reads answers and button states from a standard FDF format data file.
