Form Content (Fill Out PDF Form)

This property box specifies which PDF fields the Fill Out PDF Form activity will write values in and what those values will be.

To configure Form Contents

  1. Add the Fill Out Form activity to your workflow definition by dragging it from the Toolbox Pane and dropping it in the Designer Pane.
  2. Select the activity in the Designer Pane.
  3. Under ClosedForm Content in the Properties Pane, select a master PDF form from the Choose a file drop-down list. (A master PDF form is a blank PDF form that serves as a template for filling out PDF forms processed by the workflow.) The list contains the PDF documents attached to the Workflow Server.
  4. Note: If the master PDF form you want is not in the drop-down list, you will need to attach the PDF to the Workflow Server. After you attach the desired master PDF to the Workflow Server, the PDF will appear in the drop-down list.

  5. Click Select Fields and the Fill Out PDF Fields dialog box will open.
  6. Note: If your master PDF is more than 50 pages long, the ClosedPDF Page Selection dialog box will appear. Select to load all of the PDF's pages or to only load the first ___ number of pages. If you choose to load only a specific number of pages, type in a number of pages or use the scroll box (up-and-down arrows) to specify a number. If you choose to load all pages, loading may take a long time or cause performance problems.

    Note: If the master PDF is password protected, you must enter a password before you can view the PDF.

  7. Click OK.
  8. Optional: In the Form Content property box, you can remove fields and change how the fields are displayed in the property box.
