The Form panel appears in the PDF Converter Assistant if
Form is selected in the drop-down
list of the Mode tool, or
Form is selected
in the Options menu, or
Automatically Convert
as Forms is selected in PDF Converter Settings for a direct
conversion from MS
Word File Open.
The following options can be chosen in this panel: Form Controls, Retain
Hyperlinks, Processing Options and Handling Graphics.
Create Form Controls
Select this to detect form elements in a source file and reproduce these
elements in Microsoft Word as fillable
form fields.
Deselect this to conserve the form layout but without active form controls
being generated. You can then insert active controls in Microsoft Word.
Deselect this also if you want to modify the form contents before activating
it.
Note
PDF Professional tries to detect
form elements (checkboxes, edit boxes and horizontal lines) in source
files with image processing methods. The program will not detect circles,
or other irregular shapes. Please create these in Microsoft Word. Form
controls in a resulting Word file may have a different appearance from
those in the source file. The program does not detect form controls already
defined in the source file.
For details on all the other options available for Forms, see Standard
Document.
Notes
Form conversion uses the Logical Form RecognitionTM technology
designed to analyze and reproduce form elements. Form conversion lets
you transform source files with form-like layout and content into editable
Word documents. The OCR Settings dialog
box serves for a language selection.
The processing settings are stored
separately for each processing mode.
For advice on choosing the best
mode for your needs, see Choosing
the Processing Mode.
