Tips for reducing the number of objects

The file size of a form is affected by the number of objects on the form. Consider these general tips to minimize the number of objects on forms:

•	When creating a box, use a single rectangle object instead of joining four individual lines.

•	When creating a border for a field or subform object, use the object’s border attributes instead of creating a separate box.

•	When creating backgrounds for objects, use a background fill instead of creating a separate shaded box object.

•	For captions, use an object’s caption property instead of using a separate text object.

•	Combine multiple text objects into a single text object. This strategy is particularly useful after importing forms into LiveCycle Designer ES.
