Page elements are the individual components which make up your PDF background's appearance. Add page elements in the GoFormz Page Editor so you can make any necessary changes in the future.

Page elements only provide a visual for your Template. Examples of these elements include items ranging from boxes to your company logo. Form Users can only interact with the data fields which you map to your Template in the Field Editor.

On the GoFormz web app, navigate to the Templates tab and click Build to access the Template Editor. When you edit your Template in Form view, you'll find the Page Editor button in the left panel. Click Page Editor to access page elements.

In the Page Editor you'll manage the pages and map elements to your Template's PDF background.

When you upload your document to GoFormz you'll manage your pages using the Pages panel in the Page Editor's right-hand panel.

If you need space to map elements beyond what’s available on your existing PDF background, this is where you’ll add blank pages. Drag your pages here to change their display order.

Open the Bulk Actions drop-down menu if you need to replace a page in your document. Here you can also download your PDF background as a PDF.

With your pages in order, you're ready to map elements to your PDF background.

Drag an element onto the page to map it to your PDF background.

In the Page Elements panel on the left-hand side of the screen you'll find Image, Text, Rectangle, and Line elements.

The Image element provides a space to upload your own image to your PDF background. Images up to 5 MB are accepted. Acceptable file types include JPG, PNG, and SVG.

Include the Text element to enter text onto your PDF. The text you enter here will display for your Form Users, but they'll be unable to interact with it.

Rectangle elements create a space on your PDF background which can guide your data field mapping. Common uses for boxes include text boxes, barcode locations, and image field placeholders.

Use the Line element to segment your document, insert a space for a signature, or as a component for building larger elements.

After you've mapped an element to your PDF background, you'll manage the element's appearance by modifying the details in the Properties panel.

Each element has unique properties aimed at managing the element's appearance on your PDF background. Here you'll manage an element's size, color, and positioning relative to other elements.
