How To: Import Fields from a PDF Field Import
Importing fields from a PDF Field Import has multiple purposes. Not only will the form fields be generated through this process, the PDF will also be saved by the system, so that future form entries can be downloaded into this PDF, allowing for customizable outputs.
A form must have already been created with no fields added for this method to work. If a field has already been added to the form, you are no longer able to bulk import form field names from a PDF Field Import. You are now required to enter each field name individually. Regardless, you can still upload a PDF Form that the system will use for future form entry downloads.
