To edit a PDF form, we first of all need to import the PDF into the program. You can do this by either clicking on "File" and then choose "Open" > "Browse" to find the file on your computer.
If you don't have a PDF form ready you can create one by downloading from thousands of form templates and then opening the template in PDFelement.
The program will automatically detect whether the form is interactive or not. If yes, there will appear a yellow bar "Highlight Fields" which indicates that there are fields you can edit and fill in.
If your PDF form is interactive, you can go ahead and fill in the form directly. Just click on the fields and type in the text you want to add to the document.
If your form is non-interactive, you first of all need to click on "Comment" in the main toolbar and then click on "Typewriter" to modify the form. You can then just click on the field you want to modify and a text box and cursor should appear, allowing you to make the necessary changes.
You may want to create your very own PDF form. To do so, begin by clicking on "File" and then from the options select "New". Click on "Blank" to open a new blank document.
From the main menu toolbar, click on "Forms" option and then click "Edit Form" and then click on the "Add Text" field. This will open a field where you can add text. To add text to the field, double click on it to open a dialogue box (text field properties) to make changes to the field.
In the "General" tab, you can name the field and choose whether you want the form field to be "Read only" or "Required".
In the "Appearance" tab you can customize the form field in many ways including color and font size, style and font color. The other tabs available on this window, give you further customization options. When happy with the changes, click "Close".
You can also click on the "Check Box" option and then click anywhere you want to add the checkbox, double click on the checkbox to open a dialogue box (Check Box Properties) that allows you customize the checkbox by adding a name under the "General" tab and customizing the fonts and colors under the "Appearance" tab.
You can do the same for a "List Box", "Button", "Combo Box" and a "Radio Button" depending on what you require.
Resizing a text field or a check box is as easy as simply dragging the edge of the box to resize it according to your requirements. You can also move it by simply dragging the whole box to the desired location.
