FORMS
PDF Converter Enterprise provides a variety of Form Fields and Form Controls that can be added to PDF documents in

Additionally, PDF Converter Enterprise offers FormTyper functionality which will convert static or scanned forms into fillable,
editable PDF forms that can be saved and emailed. You can easily create the form fields automatically by running
FormTyper from the Forms menu. FormTyper will detect and create the corresponding form fields from the PDF
