Find fields in a pre-existing PDF?

Post by bradhayashi »

Searched the forum with no luck, maybe I just don't have the right search terms.

Can this take, say, an application and find the lines needed to fill out and create a form like some PDF software can? I can't seem to find any such feature.

Thanks!

Hello bradhayashi,

We do not yet have such a feature - but one is already in development and as soon as it is ready - we will include it as part of our forms tools (which means you will need an Editor Plus or PDF XChange Pro license to use it).

Kind regards,
Stefan
