Form field properties
Form field properties control how the form field will operate when the form
recipient enters their input. A series of tabs are arranged so that some tabs, e.g.
General, Appearance, Options, or Actions, are common to all the form fields
but others, such as Format, Validation and Calculations are only displayed for
text fields and combo boxes.
To access Form Field Properties:
1. To view the properties do one of the following:
• Right-click on a selected form field and choose Form Field
Properties.
• Double-click the form field.
• Select the form field, and click the button from the Form
toolbar.
2. Click on one of several tabs for editing: General, Appearance,
Options, Actions, Validate, or Calculate.
3. Click the OK or Cancel button to exit the dialog.
Publishing your PDF Form

If you Publish as PDF using PDF/X-1 or PDF/X-1a compatibility, any
PDF form fields present will be converted to graphics and will not be
available. Choose an Acrobat option instead.
