Working with forms

PDF documents can have interactive form fields that are used to collect data from a user. These form fields include elements such as text boxes, radio buttons, and lists. Collectively, the form fields are referred to as the document’s form. PDF documents can have two types of forms:

•	Traditional Acrobat forms.

•	Forms based on the XML Forms Architecture (XFA) that are created in Designer ES. XFA forms have two varieties:

•	Static XFA forms have a fixed layout of the form fields.

•	Dynamic XFA forms can have a variable arrangement of form fields and a variable number of pages depending on the data that is provided.

There are restrictions on the operations the Assembler service can perform depending on the presence of forms. Documents containing Acrobat forms have the fewest restrictions, and dynamic XFA forms have the most restrictions. See Restrictions on documents containing forms for details.

To avoid these restrictions, you can flatten form fields in your source documents, as described in the next section.
