Content area properties in the Content Area tab

When a content area is selected, the Content Area tab presents two options.

Name

Sets the name of the content area.

Flow Direction

Sets the flow direction for subforms within the content area.

•	Top to Bottom

Sets the default tabbing order and data-fill order starting from the top of the page and moving to the bottom of the page.

•	Western Text

Sets the default tabbing order and data-fill order starting from the top of the page and moving to the right until the last object on the right edge of the page has been reached. When the right edge of the page has been reached, continue the tabbing order and flow direction at the next object down on the left side of the page.

Presence

Controls whether an object is displayed in a PDF form when users view the form in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, or when users print the form:

•

Visible

The object is visible on-screen, visible in the printed form, and occupies space in the form layout. Visible is the default presence setting for all objects.

•	Visible (Screen Only)

The object is visible on-screen, not visible in the printed form when printed from within Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and occupies space in the form layout.

•	Visible (Print Only)

The object is not visible on-screen, visible in the printed form (when printed from within Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or directly from the server), and occupies space in the form layout.

•	One-sided Printing Only

The object is printed only when using single-sided printing.

•	Two-sided Printing Only

The object is printed when using double-sided printing. This option is useful when you want to place the page number in a different corner of the page when using double-sided printing than when using single-sided printing.
