Filling non-interactive forms

If a PDF form contains non-interactive form fields, you can fill in the form with

the Typewriter . When you place the pointer over a non-interactive form

field, the basic pointer icon doesn’t change.

Non-interactive PDF forms can be printed and filled in by hand. Or, you can click

the Typewriter icon or choose Comments > Typewriter Tools > Typewriter

Tool to type information over the blank form fields and then save or print a copy

of the completed form.

To use the Typewriter Tool to fill the non-interactive forms and spell-check the

entries, please refer to “Using the Typewriter Tool” .

Commenting on forms

You can comment on PDF forms, just as on any other PDF. You can add

comments only when the form creator has extended rights to the users.

Whether or not these comments are included when the form is submitted

depends on how it is submitted. For example, if you use Foxit Reader to print the

form for mailing or faxing, the comments do not appear. But if you attach the

filled-in form to email as a complete PDF, the comments are included. Also, you

can send the comments separately as an email attachment.
