Cell properties in the Cell tab

When you select a cell, the Cell tab in the Object palette presents formatting options.

By default, cells contain text, and the Cell tab presents formatting options for the Text object. If you change the content of a cell, the Cell tab presents the formatting options for the associated object type. For example, if you change the cell content to a text field, the Cell tab shows the formatting options for a Text Field object.

You can set the cell type to any default object type. The formatting options that appear in the Cell tab are the same as the formatting options that are available if you add the object directly to the form. For example, the options in the Cell tab for a Text Field cell type are the same options as the Field tab for a Text Field object. Similarly, if the cell type is a circle, then the Cell tab displays the same options as the Draw tab for a Circle object.

In addition to the formatting options for the object type, the Cell tab presents the following options:

Merge Cells
Merges two or more adjacent, selected cells.

Split Cells Horizontally
When a merged cell is selected, splits the cells based on their original position.

Presence

Controls whether an object is displayed in a PDF form when users view the form in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, or when users print the form:

Visible
The object is visible on-screen, visible in the printed form, and occupies space in the form layout. Visible is the default presence setting for all objects.

Visible (Screen Only)
The object is visible on-screen, not visible in the printed form when printed from within Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and occupies space in the form layout.

Visible (Print Only)
The object is not visible on-screen, visible in the printed form (when printed from within Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or directly from the server), and occupies space in the form layout.

One-sided Printing Only
The object is printed only when using single-sided printing.

Two-sided Printing Only
The object is printed when using double-sided printing. This option is useful when you want to place the page number in a different corner of the page when using double-sided printing than when using single-sided printing.

Invisible
The object is not visible on-screen, not visible in the printed form, and occupies space in the form layout.
