Default Field Settings

When you place app data fields onto your PDF, they adopt an appearance that is determined by the default field settings for each element. You can make changes to data fields after placing them in the PDF Mapper; however, designing their appearance in the default field settings is more efficient.

In the PDF Mapper, selecting the Set default styles button Set default styles button opens the Set Default Styles window.

Set Default Styles window
Note: Updating these settings will not change how fields already on the PDF Mapper are displayed. We recommend you set these default values before field placement.

The table below shows the field settings you can select as your default.
