Create & edit PDF forms

The PDF form creation tools are all located on the Form ribbon tab in Nitro PDF Professional. To create a PDF form field you select one of the form tools and drag open a rectangle marquee to define the field size. When you release the mouse button the field icon appears as a rectangle.

Nitro Pro includes a unique tool that lets you save your form field appearance settings. For example, if you regularly use several different styles of push buttons (with the same colors, styles, borders, etc.), you can add these to the Appearance gallery and reuse them in future PDF forms. (See the Reusing form field appearance settings topic for more.)

Tip: When editing form fields, the Edit All Fields tool lets you select and edit any kind of field.
