To create a fragment

When you create a fragment, you can either select an existing subform or select one or more objects. If you select objects that are not in a subform, the objects are wrapped in a subform when the fragment is created.

Note:

After you create a fragment by selecting existing objects, update any script references in the fragment to reflect that the objects are wrapped in a new subform.

You must save fragment source files as XDP files. If you save a fragment source file as a PDF file, the fragments cannot be referenced in other forms.

You create script fragments from script objects instead of subforms, and you must create them from the Hierarchy palette. For more information, see To create a script fragment.

1.	Select the objects to include in the fragment. You can select a fragment or multiple objects.

2.	Select Edit > Fragments > Create Fragment.

3.	If you want to use a different fragment name, in the Name box, type a name for the fragment.

4.	(Optional) In the Description box, type a description of the fragment.

5.	Select a method for creating the fragment:

•	To define the fragment in a separate XDP file that is stored in the repository, select Create Fragment In Repository and go to step 6.

•	To define the fragment in the current file, select Create New Fragment in Current Document and go to step 9.

6.	In the Location list, select the repository location where you want to save the fragment file.

7.	(Optional) To use a different file name, in the File Name box, type the file name for the fragment.

8.	If you do not want to replace the selection with the new fragment, deselect Replace Selection With Reference To New Form Fragment.

9.

Click OK.
