Use this for easy navigation through form fields, or to review and change individual form field properties.
This panel is called from the Panel bar by the following tool:
If you do not see this tool, right-click in an empty area of the Panel bar and select it.
The panel lists all active fields in a form page by page. Double-click a field item in the list to have it highlighted and display its properties (attributes, actions and others) for review and/or modification.
This panel also gives you the option to
run Form Typer through a static form.
specify OCR language for the static form to be activated.
delete all form controls in the current document. Use this with care: deleting all form controls cannot be undone.
set panel display preferences.
Warning: If you run Form Typer on a document that already has active form fields, these will be deleted.
Note
The Form Controls panel will automatically display if you run Form Typer through a static form, and you have not previously marked the' Do not show this panel automatically' item under Options > Preferences.
Tip
You can also run Form Typer from the Form ribbon by clicking its icon.
Transferring Data between Forms
You can export data from a form and import data into one from an existing data file.
Form data transfer is done using XFDF files. For best results, use the export-import process between forms with highly similar/identical layout. See Importing and Exporting Form Data for details.
Note
Do not edit form controls or run Form Typer on a form with active XFA controls.
