Delete Form Fields
Using the Delete form fields feature allows for the deletion of any unwanted or obsolete form fields from a fillable PDF without affecting any of the other areas of that same document. With the passage of time, forms tend to accumulate additional, unneeded form fields, such as obsolete fields of entry, duplicate form fields, and form fields created for testing purposes. The Delete Form Fields tool removes any of these unneeded form fields so that your form can appear more professional and your users will have an easier time using your form.
Instead of having to recreate your PDF, you simply have to highlight those fields to delete in your PDF, and you can download a newly modified PDF with only the selected fields deleted. The overall layout, text, and design of your original PDF will remain the same; only the specified fields will be deleted. This process allows you to quickly, safely, and easily use this functionality for both business and personal purposes.
