Use this for easy navigation through form fields, or to review and change individual form field properties.

This panel is available from the Panel bar when you select 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.

The panel offers the following tools:

• Click to run Form Typer through a static form.

  Note If you run Form Typer on a document that already has active form fields, these will be deleted.

• Click to delete all form controls in the current document. Use this tool with care; deleting all form controls cannot be undone.

• Click the Options tool to view a shortcut menu giving access to the two previous tools and to Preferences and Settings.

  • Use Preferences to specify whether the Form panel should be displayed when Form Typer processes a form. If yes, make it appear before or after Form Typer is run.

  • Use Settings to specify OCR language for the static form to be activated and to enable or disable font resizing when a respondent fills in a text field. This allows longer responses to be immediately visible.
