Can I create a fill in form in PDF Pro?

I've tried creating text boxes, but every time I modify the input I also have to resize the rectangle box. Is there any way to create fill in forms or boxes that don't change size every time they're modified.

Thanks for your help and advice!!!

Hi wildcat gas well testing, inc.,

Thanks for the post - I'm afraid that we do not currently support the creation of fillable forms. However, we will be releasing a dedicated forms editing/creation plugin for the Editor, within the next build or two, but this will likely require its own license.

Thanks,

Thx for the prompt reply.
Is there any way to keep the size of my text boxes fixed when I make a copy of the document for editing?

Please advise.

I'm not 100% sure that I understand the question - if you're looking for textboxes to be the same size, you should just be able to copy/paste one textbox, after re-sizing it.

If you're looking to force textboxes not to expand beyond their placed size, if the text being entered exceeds the maximum that the textbox can currently display, then I'm afraid that this isn't possible.

Cheers,

Is the functionality of creating a fillable form available yet?

Hi smfinley

indeed the current version supports creating fillable forms.
