PDF Pro not only enables you to complete forms, but it also allows you to create new forms with interactive buttons, checkboxes and other form elements. These new forms can then be completed with PDF Pro or another PDF viewer. The form values can be exported to XML format for further processing.

Completing existing interactive forms

To complete an existing interactive form, enable the Hand tool and then click on the fields in the form.

You can let PDF Pro highlight all interactive form fields in order to see them better. To do so, choose the ribbon command View | Shade form objects (in the group View). If there are no interactive form elements on the current page, this option will be grayed out.
