Forms
Last updated 10/11/2011
Use Designer ES2 when you want to extend basic form capabilities in Acrobat. For example, a Designer ES2 form can
include Image Object fields so that you can easily add graphics to a form. Consider using Designer ES for these tasks:
• Create forms from scratch or from the predesigned layouts in the build-in templates that you edit and customize.
• Create dynamic forms.
• Add graphics, such as photographs.
• Add barcode collections.
• Create forms in formats that Designer ES2 can convert to HTML, especially if you intend to post the interactive
form on a website for people to fill in and submit from within a browser.
• Integrate PDF forms into existing workflows by binding forms to XML schemas, XML sample data files, databases,
and web services.
• Use scripting objects.
You must use Designer ES2 to edit any forms that were opened and saved in Designer ES2, even if the form was
originally created in Acrobat.
Note: When creating forms in Designer ES2, do not specify an Edit pattern if you want only numeric values (such as dates
and decimals) to be entered.
Forms preferences
Set forms preferences to control various aspects of your interaction with form fields.
In the Preferences dialog box, select Forms on the left. The forms preferences are organized in three sections: General,
Highlight Color, and Auto-Complete.
Note: The forms preferences apply to the way the application handles open forms as you work. The preferences aren’t
saved with the PDF forms themselves.

Submit Form button, you can’t hide the message bar.

edit forms.
Manage Barcode Parameters Opens a dialog box with a list of barcode items (including the Parameter Set Name,
Symbology, and Built-in status for each item). Includes New, Edit, Delete, Import, and Export buttons for working
