Forms Editing Mode
With the PDF form in Forms Editing Mode, you can add new fields and buttons to the form and edit or
delete any existing field or button (See “Figure 6 Adobe Acrobat 9 Forms Editing Mode” on page 11) The
Forms Editing Mode changes the Acrobat user interface slightly.
• A Forms Editing Toolbar provides access to the Select Object tool, the Add New Field button, and
the Form Preview button. You can configure the Add New Field button to display the Forms tools
on the toolbar instead of the Add New Field button if you prefer.
• On the right hand side of the Forms Editing Toolbar, are the Distribute Form button and the Close
Form editing button.
• A fields panel appears on the left side of the document.
• There is a forms menu bar which offers users choices that are mostly restricted to forms editing
functions.

Creating a New Form Field
In Acrobat, you create a form field by choosing one of the form tools. For each field type, you can set a
variety of options through the form field Properties dialog box.
You can access the forms tools one of three ways.
• You can select “Add New Field” on the Forms Editing Toolbar to add more fields
• From the Forms Editing menu you can select Forms > Form Tools (Keyboard accelerator ALT + R
+ O). This will provide access to the Acrobat form tools.
