How to Use Conditional Fields

Conditional fields remain hidden until certain conditions by the filer are met. They are asked to be filled out only if some special conditions are met to make them visible.

Adding conditional fields starts with placing two text fields in the document. Name both fields, and make the second one conditional. Add the checkmark to make the needed field conditional.

To link condition and conditional fields, go to the new tab and specify the option Hide this field until… , add Is Filled in and in Choose by Clicking add the unique name you provided to the first field.

Next, you need to go to the top right corner and submit Choose by clicking the option and select the field to link to the conditional one. It is possible to make any field condition, that is very helpful if many documents that are filled out by more than one user.

Easy to Use It's kind of a time saver in the end with not have to use the typewriter or hand write them, would be easier though if you didn't have type each form, if they are the same it should copy the data onto each one. I liked that I didn't have to pull out (yes it's a dinosaur) typewriter to fill out my 1099's every year any more once I found this program online. I can also use it for other forms as well. I don't like that you have to retype each 1099 for each copy of the form, it should carry them forward to each copy and you just review them for differences.

Very easy to use I am excited to learn all the features the software has to offer. I am so happy i can take current PDF files and turn them into filliable files. This has been very helpful as i started this position and can't always find fillable files.
