How do I use PDF forms?
Bluebeam PDF Revu 6.5 allows you to fill in form fields that exist in PDF files and save the form data with the PDF, giving you the option of storing completed forms electronically rather than printing on paper.
At some point, just about everyone has downloaded a form from a website that needs to be filled out and submitted. Whether you are submitting a tax or medical form for personal reasons or a building code form for a professional project, Revu makes the process of completing, submitting, and saving the form simple.
Not all forms are created equal. Just because a PDF file looks like a form does not mean that form fields are defined. The form fields must be defined in the PDF for Revu to fill them in. Revu supports filling in text fields as well as clicking buttons, check boxes, list and combo boxes, pushbuttons and radio buttons.
Revu can automatically highlight form fields for better visibility and indicate required fields in red. This will allow you to quickly determine if the PDF file contains forms.
How?
- On the Documents menu, click Forms
- Check Highlight Forms
The form fields will be highlighted in a light blue color. The highlighting is enabled by default. So, you should be able to tell immediately if forms exist in the PDF.
How to determine if forms are not defined in the PDF file:
- In the Documents menu, “Forms” is grayed out
- No form fields are highlighted
Currently, Bluebeam PDF Revu supports forms created using the AcroForm standard. A second, less common format called XFA forms is not supported at this time.
