Designer is the graphical form-design tool that simplifies
the creation of forms. Form developers can use Designer to build
and maintain data capture solutions that read from, validate against,
and add to corporate data sources. Developers can integrate PDF
or HTML forms into existing workflows by binding form designs to
XML schemas, XML sample files, data models, databases, and web services.
Designer can operate stand-alone and communicates with Workbench, enabling
workflows that span both applications. Form developers can use the form
creation wizard within Workbench or work directly from Designer.
FragmentsFragments are reusable components of a form or document.
Using fragments simplifies and speeds up the creation and maintenance
of large numbers of forms. When creating a form, you insert a reference
to the required fragment and the fragment appears in the form. The
fragment reference contains a subform that points to the physical
XDP file.
Action BuilderAction Builder is a tool in Designer that makes
it easier to build actions in forms without requiring Java coding.
Action Builder helps form authors build common interactions in forms
without writing scripts.
Here are examples of common actions that form authors can build
using Action Builder:
Add buttons that a form filler can click to add or remove
sections in the form or rows in a table
Set the value of a field, such as prepopulating a date/time
field object with the current date or a numeric field object with
a specific value
Set the background color of fields
Hide or show objects or set the focus to a specific field
Create custom actions by using scripting objects and the
function within the scripts
Build actions within fragments
