You can modify the properties associated with objects in a form guide either in Guide Builder or on the form design. Changes you make in Guide Builder only apply to the form guide, while changes you make to the form design will apply to both the form guide and any other versions of the form, such as PDF.
If you make changes to the form design while Guide Builder is open, click the Refresh button Livecycle gb refresh btn Updating form objects to update the form object information in Guide Builder. Changes you make to the form design while Guide Builder is closed will appear automatically the next time you start Guide Builder.
