You can edit a fragment by selecting the fragment in the
Fragment Library palette or by selecting the fragment reference
in any form.
When you select the edit option, the fragment source file opens
in Designer and the fragment is selected.
Note:
You can also open and edit a fragment source
file the same way you edit any other XDP file.
You can rename the fragment or modify the form objects in the
fragment. When you save the fragment source file, your changes are
immediately reflected in all open forms that reference the fragment.
You do not need to reload the forms to see the changes.
Note:
Renaming the fragment subform in the Hierarchy
palette in the referenced XDP file breaks all references to that
fragment. You can change the fragment metadata name in the Fragment
Information dialog box or in the Object palette.
When you edit a fragment, all forms that reference the fragment
reflect the changes when you save the form in Designer. If you update
a referenced fragment after you save a PDF form, the old fragment
is still visible when you view the PDF form in Acrobat. To update
the fragment that is visible in the PDF form, resave the PDF form
in Designer

To view fragment information
You
can view the fragment information that was added when the fragment
was created. The fragment information includes the fragment name,
a description, and the location of the fragment source file.
The same information is displayed for fragments and fragment
references. When you select a fragment, you can view or edit the
information, but when you select a fragment reference, you can only
view the information.
-
View the fragment information:
-
To view
the fragment information for a fragment reference, select the fragment
reference.
-
To view the fragment information for a fragment, open the
fragment for editing.
-
Select Edit > Fragments > Fragment Info.
To convert a fragment reference to an embedded object
When
you convert a fragment reference, it becomes an embedded copy of
the fragment, and the fragment metadata is removed. The embedded
object does not retain any relationship to the fragment source file.
The fragment source file is unchanged and you can still reference
it in your forms.
Converting a fragment reference is useful when you no longer
need to reference the fragment but do not want to remove the objects
from a form design. For example, you can convert a fragment reference
if you want to create a new fragment based on an existing fragment.
If the referenced fragment contains one or more fragment references,
you can either embed only the selected fragment reference or embed
the selected fragment and the nested fragment references.
-
Select the fragment reference to embed.
-
Select Edit > Fragments > Convert To Embedded Object.
