New! Put multiple fields on one line

Randy Swineford Jan 29, 2013 4:42 PM

Previously only one field/item could be placed on a line within the Design tab. With today’s release (1/19/2013), you can now put multiple fields on one line – this has been by far the most requested feature.

A field can be added beside another field/item by clicking the insert button to the right of the last field/item.

When the insert button is clicked the insert menu will appear to choose the type of field you want to insert beside the existing field.

Note: Rating scale, attachment field, horizontal lines and page breaks cannot be put beside other field/items (they must be on a line by themselves)

You can also drag and drop existing fields/items.

The forms you created before this release can be edited to have a side by side layout.

Side by side layouts have been added to 28 of our templates.

Please tell us your feedback and enjoy the feature.

Thank you Randy, I only downloaded the trail version, and it would seem that I cant add fields next to each other.

When i move the mouse over the top right hand corner, (next to the bin) it only allows me to change the field, I dont get the plus sign

If you are using the FormsCentral desktop app that is part of AXI then you will need to go to the Help menu and Check for Updates. You don't have the latest desktop client.

Randy, thanks so much for this! I've been wracing my brain trying to figure out how to do this. Now I'm stuck trying to make the fields I'm adding line up correctly. for example:

Mulch ____ $_______________________
Dethatching ______ $_______________________

When I add the fields they are just going wherever they fall. Is there a way to adjust this?
THANK YOU!

You can align things by dragging the right edge of the text field

You can also resize the field box itself by dragging the right edge of the box.

Hope this helps

Hi. I am trying to place more than one field on the same line and it does not allow me to do so. I have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro ver 11.0.0 and am trying to use the FormsCentral that came bundled with it. Very disappointed that I can no longer create the intricate forms I once did in Adobe Pro.
