What is a PDF Widget?
A PDF Widget is a type of PDF annotation used with interactive forms that represents graphical user interface (GUI) widgets used for data entry.
PDF Widgets are different from standard PDF annotations because they allow user interaction and data input. Standard annotations, such as text boxes or arrows, are static and cannot be interacted with. PDF widgets, on the other hand, let users enter data directly into the PDF form and trigger actions, such as submitting the form or clearing all fields.
Using PDF widgets improves the interactivity and functionality of PDF forms, making them easier to use and more accessible.
Examples of PDF widgets used in interactive PDF forms include text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdown menus, and buttons.
