The Form Wizard completes its analysis of the document, adds any form fields it may detect and places the PDF form in Forms Editing Mode where you can edit the automatically created fields or add additional form fields (See "Forms Editing Mode" on page 9). During form field detection, Acrobat may have missed some fields or created unneeded fields. It may have also created fields of the wrong type. Please verify the fields and field names on your form. You can select Add New Field on the Forms Editing toolbar to add more fields or right click on the form to edit or delete fields. Enter Forms Editing Mode Directly If you don't want to use the Form Wizard, you can open the file, and place the document in Form Editing Mode directly. • From the Acrobat Menu, select Forms > Add Or Edit Fields (Keyboard shortcut is Shift + Ctrl 7). This displays the Add or Edit Form Fields dialog (See "Figure 5 Add or Edit Form Fields Dialog" on page 8) Answering "Yes" to the Add or Edit Form Fields dialog question "Do you want Acrobat to detect form fields for you?" results in the automatic detection of form fields prior to placing the document in Form Editing Mode. This is the same as if you had proceeded using the Form Wizard on the current PDF.

You can now add new form fields to the PDF form. Proceed to the next section "Forms Editing Mode" on page 9 for further instruction.
