Using existing PDF forms
Once an output document is created, you can add new pages or section to your document.
You can choose between adding a new empty page or using an existing PDF form. When using an existing PDF form, you can use the entire form, or individual pages.
You should choose individual pages if:
- You want to add fields to the page in variaDoc.
- You want to use only a specific page (or set of pages) from a PDF form.
You should choose the entire PDF form if:
- You do not know up front how many pages the PDF form will have
- You want to preserve existing digital signatures in the PDF form.
