How to Edit Your LactForms Header

 

LactForms headers are designed for personalizing your forms with your contact and professional information. They use fillable fields (even on printable formats) and can be styled to match your company branding on computers and laptops. When your edits and styling are just the way you want them, the form can be saved with a different filename to create a template for ongoing use. The fillable field highlights won't show on a hardcopy printed page.

Plus Sign on Fillable field

DING OR PLUS SIGN? If your computer or device “dings” (makes an error sound) or you see a plus sign in a black box on the field's right side, it means there's more text than allowed. Just delete or abbreviate some text, or change the font size on a desktop or laptop computer.

The way to add your information and/or image to your LactForms header depends on your header type (free to change on request).

These LactForms header types use fillable fields to add your professional information, even on the Printable format. The form can then be saved with a different filename to create a template with your personalized header for ongoing use.

Depending on your PDF program and/or your settings, you may not see highlighting—transparent color shading—on the fillable areas, but they ARE fillable when the fields are selected. The fillable fields highlights will not show on the printed form.

The header’s fillable fields are designed to work with any PDF reader app/program or browser with the free Adobe Acrobat plugin. If you have any problems, use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader app/program for optimal functionality. Open the file within the app (don’t just click on the file name). If that doesn’t help, see this page for more info and troubleshooting.
