    In This Topic

    We will create a PDF form, using the InputFieldText controls, where a user may enter textual renter's information like Name, Address, etc. We will use Label control to write the captions for these user inputs.

    The final report will look as shown.

    InputFieldText Control in Reports

    Design Report Layout

    1. Drag and drop the Label control onto the report designer and set its Text property to Renter's section. This is the form's heading.
    2. Drag and drop the Label controls below the Renter's section text; these controls will be the captions to the user's answers. Set these control's Text property to the following values:
      • Label2: Full Name
      • Label3: Address
      • Label4: City
      • Label5: State
      • Label6: Zip
      • Label7: Phone
      • Label8: Email
    3. Now drag and drop the InputFieldText controls next to the Label controls added at the previous step. These blank fields are required to be filled by the users filling the form.
    4. Set Required property for some fields that you want to make mandatory before submitting the form.
    5. Improve the appearance of the controls and preview the report.
    6. Export the report to PDF format. Users can now enter the text in the blank fields.
