Form design
The form creation tools are all located on the Forms ribbon tab in Nitro Pro. There are several field types
available; for each field type, you can set a variety of options through the form field Properties dialog box
or ribbon tab.
Nitro Pro also includes a unique tool that lets you save your form field appearance settings for quick
reuse. For example, if you regularly use several different styles of push buttons (colors, styles, borders,
etc.), you can add these to the Appearance gallery and reuse them for future forms. (See the Reusing form
field appearance settings topic for more information.)
TIP: When editing form fields, the Edit All Fields tool lets you select and edit any type of field.

1. Open the PDF in Nitro Pro

3. On the page, drag a rectangle to define the size of the field, and then release the mouse button to
