Form Field Dictionary

Community Beginner ,
Dec 30, 2021 Dec 30, 2021

Hi Everyone,

 

On the right side of my document there's a useful "Fields" portion when I'm using "Prepare Form" view.

I cannot seem to expand this out (would think that I can resize the window rather than just showing/hiding).  Further, I'm creating an external dictionary with my PDF for use with later analysis of user inputs (field type, validation scripts, character types/limits, etc. included). 

 

It would be really useful if Acrobat had some type of dictionary like this field list that I can look at in another window and, ideally, edit field properties directly.  Does Adobe Acrobat have any ability to download the field information within a CSV, JSON, PDF, or something else? Does Acrobat have any ability to modify/work within that field margin more directly than right clicking the items -> Properties?

 

Here's an example of my external dictionary

"I cannot seem to expand this out (would think that I can resize the window rather than just showing/hiding)."

 

Adobe offers software and training devoted to the UI design and production of ergonomic interfaces.
Unfortunately Acrobat developers do not know these tools.

So does that mean it isn't possible to expand the view?

Yes, hélas.

No, as its name suggest it is just a report.
