Help: Filling Out PDF FormsThere are two different kinds of forms that you can fill out using PDFpen, interactive forms which have built in fillable form fields, and non-interactive forms that are just scanned documents without built-in form fields. Interactive PDF FormsThese forms come with interactive fields, making it easy to tab through fields and enter text. Some other interactive fields which function in PDFpen are signature fields and calculation fields. NOTE: Calculations in forms are performed with JavaScript. If you do not want JavaScript running in a PDF, you may turn off support for it in Preferences > General > Enable JavaScript.
Non-interactive forms
Tip: You can double-click a tool to lock it on and use it continuously. This will help you to fill out the whole form without having to switch between tools. Click the Edit (arrow) tool, or any other tool, to unlock your tool. To turn the automatic continuous use feature on or off, see General Preferences for details. Saving Your FormWhen you're done filling out the form, choose File > Save. PDFpen saves with the information you added, allowing you to edit the form later without losing any work. Signing a FormAdd a signature, or a secure digital signature, to your completed form either by importing a signature, drawing one with the scribble tool, or using an interactive signature field which is sometimes included in interactive forms. For details see Adding a Signature. |
