Dynamic fields allow you to create various inputs for different data types in the documents. There are several ways to add them to the template:
Text cursor method
This method is only available for structured documents. To create a field, click where you want it to be placed in the document. When the flashing text cursor appears, click a field icon in the Fields tab of the template editor menu. The field will be placed at the spot of the cursor.
Drag & drop method
This method works with all types of documents. As it is clear from the name, you can drag & drop fields (press button on pick, drag while button is pressed, release button to drop) from the Fields tab of the template editor menu on the spot in the document where you want it to be placed. A preview of the field will be shown near the pointer while dragging it. Note that in structured documents position of the field will be approximately at to drop point and will be placed in the closest place where the text cursor can be placed. This method suits best to PDF documents, as the position of the field will be exactly as the preview shows in such documents.
Sticky fields method
This method is similar to drag & drop, but works in 2 clicks instead of 1. Click (without holding the button pressed) on the field in the fields menu, and its preview will ‘stick’ to the mouse pointer. Hover the pointer with the attached field to the desired spot in the document and place it with 2nd click. Note that in structured documents, it will be placed in the spot approximately, similar to the drag & drop method. Also, if the text cursor is visible on screen, this method will not activate the (field will be placed on the cursor after a click). This method is best for PDF documents and when working on a tablet with a touchscreen (drag & drop is not supported on touch devices, so this is the only available method to place fields on PDF documents on a tablet without additional input devices).
