Design online PDF form
Tabs
The designer customizes the online PDF form’s look. Changes affect previews, not the published form until you publish them.
In the Form Preview toolbar, click Design Form to open the Form Designer side panel. Use the form designer to customise the look and feel of your form.
Design settings set in the designer only affect the Online PDF Form, and not printed PDFs.

Design the form
In the Form Preview toolbar, click Design Form to open the Form Designer side panel. Use the form designer to customise the look and feel of your form.
Save the form
Changes are visible live on the form, which lets you experiment until you get things right. When you’re finished, click Apply to save your changes.
View changes
The next time you publish your form, it will reflect the changes and adopt the new look-and-feel for public users. If you’re not happy with your changes, you can revert the design back to the last saved state, or reset to default—it’s up to you.
Custom CSS
On the Form Designer, click the CSS tab, and add your CSS styles to the text box. Custom CSS will override any other styling set in the designer. To save your styles, click Apply. Any changes will be visible the next time you publish a form.
