Ensuring Machine-Readability

You can check your form to make sure it is machine-readable at any moment of the design stage (Tools → Check Form).

If no errors are detected, you will see a message saying that the check was successful.

If some errors are detected, they will be displayed at the bottom of the window after the check completes.

A report will contain all the defects that may prevent the form from being correctly processed by computer: no anchors, no form identifiers, form elements are too close or overlap form margins, etc.

Button Description

Check Form Use this button after you correct the errors to make sure that your form is machine-readable now.
Save Report... Save the checking results report into a.TXT file.
