Views and Form Usage - 76
Non-designed Form
This type of form has no fillable fields and no editable text. Basically, it
is just a an image, or picture, on your computer. Use this option if you
want to be able to:
• input a form of such poor quality that it would cause recognition
problems
• draw new fillable objects on the form in design view
• print, fax, or mail the form only
See Chapter 6, Designing a Form, for information on adding graphics,
creating objects, and using other design techniques.
See Chapter 7, Filling a Form, for information on filling fields in fill view.
