Interactive forms

FreePDF: Creating interactive forms is not possible in FreePDF.

FreePDF enables you to complete forms. The commercial version FlexiPDF also allows you to create your own forms with interactive buttons, checkboxes and other form objects.

These new forms can then be completed with FlexiPDF, FreePDF or another PDF viewer. The form values can be exported with FlexiPDF to XML format for further processing.
