5.2 | 4 | {{version major="6" minor="3" patch="0"/}} Starting with version 6.3.0, it is possible to import PDF forms in {{formcycle/}} if they are in [[//xdp// file format>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_Data_Package]]. | |

5.2 | 15 | To import a form available in //xdp// format, the {{designer/}} must first be opened. This is done automatically when a new {{formcycle/}} form is created. Then in the main menu under //Local Backups// the //Load local backup// option has to be selected. In the file selection dialog that opens, a //xdp// file can now be selected. After confirming the selection, the import is performed immediately. | |

5.2 | 17 | When importing, a button to submit the form is automatically added at the end of the form. For forms with several pages, buttons to navigate between the individual pages are also created automatically. | |

5.2 | 21 | == Adjusting the form to {{formcycle/}} | |
3.2 | 22 | ||
5.2 | 23 | The range of functions of {{formcycle/}} is considerably larger than that of forms in //xdp// file format. In order to be able to use the full range of functions in {{formcycle/}}, additional adjustments to the imported form are usually necessary and useful. | |
3.2 | 24 | ||
5.2 | 25 | This applies, for example, to the data types of input fields, where a larger amount of options is available in {{formcycle/}}. It is also necessary to define which elements are required fields, if such a functionality is desired. Attention should also be payed to the way the form behaves when it is displayed responsively, since the original //xdp// format does not take such behavior into account. | |
