Create Independent Addendums for Forms

These instructions can also be used to create a form field at both the Form Document tab of the assembly window and in HotDocs Filler.

Sometimes your form includes duplicate pages that must be given to or filed with a specific party. (For example, perhaps you have a form where one copy must be given to the client, and another copy must be filed in your office.) You can select an option that specifies that a new addendum page should begin following a specified field. This makes it possible to create multiple, independent addendums.

To create independent addendums

1. Select the field(s) and click the Field Properties button. The Field Properties dialog box appears.
2. Click the Overflow tab. The view changes to show overflow options.
3. Select Begin new addendum following this field.

Fillable PDFs do not support the creation of an addendum when a field overflows. This means that if a field in an assembled fillable PDF template overflows, the answer in the saved PDF document will simply appear cut off. Template users should always review and modify any answers that may potentially overflow before saving the assembled document as a fillable PDF.
