Settings for opening documents with forms:
- Recreate PDF forms when opening. This option allows you to avoid display errors of some forms, but slows down the opening of files when enabled.
- Show warning when opening links. If enabled, a warning notice appears when links are opened.
- Convert static XFA into normal PDF when opening file. If this option is enabled, static XFA forms are automatically converted into standard PDF form format. This allows you to properly fill out and edit the form fields. If the option is disabled, forms can still be filled out, but editing is not possible.
When enabled, XFA data will be removed from the document structure after saving. When disabled, XFA data remains in the document, and filled forms will display correctly in third-party applications.
If the document contains XFA forms and the Convert static XFA into normal PDF when opening file option is disabled, the following features will be unavailable:
- Exporting pages to Text, Excel, CSV, or Word formats;
- Extracting all images from the document;
- Converting the document to PDF/A.
To use these features, it is recommended to enable this option when opening the document.
Application relaunch is required for settings to take effect.
Use Forms > Highlight Forms (Ctrl + H) for forms selection or forms selection reset. (For macOS X: Cmd+H).
