Exporting selected fields (not all) in forms

Post by Atlasalbro »

Hi,

I like to export only certain fields. To do that, I used the properties menus of the dropdownfields (general section). and set the value "exporteerbaar" (in english: exportable?) to either no or yes.

However, that doesn't seem to make a difference. The value gets exported anyway.
Am i doing something wrong?

Hello, Atlasalbro

This is a bit of a confusing part of the PDF specification. Technically the property is called "exportable", that is correct, but it does not actually affect application export functions. Perhaps a biut of a misnomer, but as part of the specification, we use the official name for the function.
What it truly affects is document actions, such as the "submit a form" function which can be set as an action for the "button" field.

Kind regards,
