Resetting form data

One of the more common buttons you create on PDF forms is a button that permits a user to clear populated fields. This is a handy button for users when they need to start over filling in a form.

To create a reset button:

1. Select the Button tool from the Nitro PDF Professional toolbar and drag open a rectangle in the location where you want to add the button.
2. Name the field resetForm and set General and Appearance properties.
3. Select Layout in the Options properties and select Label only. Click the Label field and enter Reset Form.
4. Click Select Action and select Reset a form from the drop down menu.
5. Click Add and do one of the following:
• Click Deselect All. Press Control and click each field you want to clear, if the number of fields to clear are fewer than the total number of fields in the list.
• Click Select All. Press Control and click each field you want to eliminate from clearing data, if the number of fields to clear are greater than the total number of fields you don't want to clear.
6. Click OK.
