ARTS PDF Variform Plus
4.1 Appearance
When creating form fields, Acrobat allows the user to define a number of items affecting
the field’s appearance. These include such things as border color, width, and style,
background color, text color, font and font size. ARTS PDF Variform Plus supports all of
these choices and the output from ARTS PDF Variform Plus will include them. The user
may also choose whether the form field is read only and/or required. Neither of these
has any effect on ARTS PDF Variform Plus’s ability to merge and print the data. Finally,
the user has several choices about the form field’s visibility. The only choice here which
has any effect on ARTS PDF Variform Plus is “Visible but doesn’t print”. Although the
data will be merged, for obvious reasons, it will not appear in the output from ARTS PDF
Variform Plus.

4.2 Options
Acrobat allows the user to enter a default value for a form field, set the text alignment,
choose whether the field supports multi-line input, limit the number of characters which
can be entered in a field, treat the field as a password. Although ARTS PDF Variform
Plus supports all of these options, the user should exercise care when implementing a
limit on the number of characters or the password option. If the data to be merged
exceeds the character limit for the field, ARTS PDF Variform Plus will still print it, but the
data will be truncated. Selecting the password option causes data for that field to be
displayed as “****” and ARTS PDF Variform Plus will print it as such.

4.3 Actions
The user may define actions which occur when certain events take place. This is
primarily related to manual entries in forms and has no effect on ARTS PDF Variform
Plus's ability to merge and/or print.

4.4 Format
Acrobat allows the user to select from predefined formats or create custom formats for
the data to be entered into a field. Although ARTS PDF Variform Plus supports the use
of these formats, care should be exercised when defining them. If the format for a field is
different than the format of the data in a file to be merged, ARTS PDF Variform Plus will
report an error whenever it encounters a data entry which does not match the form
field’s defined format. This can be overridden by selecting “Ignore Field Formats” in
ARTS PDF Variform Plus’s
