Manually Determining which Data Items to Populate with PDF Form Field Values

To determine manually which data items to populate with PDF form field values, complete the following steps:
  1. Check out and open the process you want to edit.

  2. Open the Read PDF Form activity in the process that you previously configured and now want to edit.

  3. Click the Data Mapping tab. The corresponding screen is displayed.

  4. Select the Manually Map Form Fields to Data Items check box.

  5. In the Form field field, select the appropriate input field editor and set the field to a value that is a PDF form field.

  6. In the Data Item field, click the Data Item editor icon and select the appropriate data item to be populated.
      
    Note:
    Calculation data items are read-only. You cannot edit this type of data item.

     
    Note:
    To map more columns click the plus sign (+) and repeat steps 5 and 6.
    To remove a column mapping, click the minus sign (−).


  7. Click OK. You manually determined which data items to populate with PDF form field values.

    Note:
    If you also configured the automatic mapping, then any manual mappings will override the automatic mappings the Process Engine determines need to be mapped.
