New PDF Form Field: Push Button Field

(See Example PDF and Example PDFill Project File  )

A push button is a purely interactive control that responds immediately to user input without retaining a permanent value.

Here are the steps to create a Push Button form field:

• Choose Menu Insert > Form Fields > Select Push Button Field Tools, or click the 6th button in the Forms Toolbar.

• Hold Left mouse button to create a form field of the required size
• The new form field properties dialog comes up to set options
• To create multiple fields in one time, click the Table Tools
• To adjust the height of the box using the Font Size, click the Height Adjust Tool
• You can create fields with the same name inside the same page or across different page

2. To access form field properties:

• Click the Selection button first.
• Click inside the field to highlight it and click Properties Button
• Or, click the edge shadow and double-click again
• Or, Key F4

3. Set Field Properties:

 

 

Field Name	The name to define the field. Two fields can have the same name and they will have the same value string.
Field Caption	The display title of the button.
Tooltips	Inside Adobe Reader, the user hovers the cursor over the field, without clicking it, and a small box appears with supplementary information regarding the field being hovered over. This is useful to help the user fill the form.
Font Encode	Click here to see the listed links to international graphical representations, and textual listings, of each of the Windows codepages that PDFill supports.
Font Name	Some font is empty for the selected Font Encode. You may play with several fonts to see if it works inside PDFill.
Font Enbed	Font Embedding allows the fonts used in the creation of a PDF form to travel with that PDF document, ensuring that a user sees PDF Form Fields exactly as the designer intended them to be seen. But, it requires bigger PDF file size. There are 3 options: Auto, NOT Embedded and Embedded.
