Clearing form input boxes

Post by mark@greenbergcm.com »

My first time creating a form with inputs. I converted the Word doc to .pdf and loaded it into xchange editor pro. As a test I created two input boxes. The input boxes work just fine but I'm left with the boxes. How can I clear the box outlines now?

Also, just to be sure I have this straight, once I have the template finished is there a way to load the template into Word for filling out in the future or must the program be a pdf?

Thanks,

Mark

Hello mark@greenbergcm.com,

Once you have the PDF file with the form fields, you can select the Form -> Select Fields tool, and then click on one of yours. With the field selected - you can then change it's properties including making the border 0 pt (which will make it invisible):

You need an Editor Plus license to work with form fields.

When we convert PDF files to Word I do not believe that form fields are preserved - so if you want your form to be interactive - you can send the PDF out to your form's recipients. Pretty much any PDF viewer out there should be able to allow them to fill in these form fields you've created with our Editor Plus.

Kind regards,
Stefan
