Selecting Form Field Options

The Properties dialog box associated with each form field tool displays up to seven different tabs of options, depending on which tool you choose when adding a field to your PDF form. Field options govern characteristics, such as the way a field appears in a form, the format and type of data that can be entered in the field, actions that you attach to a field (such as playing a sound or movie), and also the types of calculations performed on data entered in a field.
To edit field options, double-click the field with the Select Object tool or the form field tool that created the field to open its associated Properties dialog box, and then click the desired tab. The separate tabs and options (in all their copiousness) are described in the following sections.
