Inspect PDF Form Fields

You can view incredibly thorough descriptions of every fillable form in a PDF file by using the Inspect PDF Form Fields tool. You can stop speculating about how the form was put together because the tool will display all of the field metadata, including its name, type, location on the form, and type of property. This makes it simple to understand how to finish, modify, or automate the process before you do anything with it.
Knowing exactly what your fields are is very helpful if you are in charge of digital forms for internal workflows, contracts, applications, or registrations. You can accurately make updates or integrate with other applications by using the Inspector tool, which gives you a breakdown of the current fields. The original PDF will not be changed, and the inspection process is done in a safe and secure manner directly in your internet browser.
