The form creation tools are all located on the Forms ribbon in Nitro Pro. There are several field types available; for each field type, you can set a variety of options through the form field Properties dialog box or ribbon.

Nitro Pro also includes a unique tool that lets you save your form field appearance settings for quick reuse. For example, if you regularly use several different styles of push buttons (colors, styles, borders, etc.), you can add these to the Appearance gallery and reuse them for future forms. (See the Reusing form field appearance settings topic for more information.)

TIP: When editing form fields, the Select Fields tool lets you select and edit any type of field.
