Tip: The fastest method to add a Form Field to your document is to simply left-click and hold the Handler Icon and Drag & Drop the Form Field onto your Page. Printess will automatically create a Single Line Text Frame with the Form Field Value as Content.
Add a new Single Line Text Frame to your document or select a already existing Single Line Text Frame.
Go to the Text Tab on the Feature Panel (Printess will automatically open up the Text Tab, when you add a new Single or Multi Line Text Frame).
Go to the Text Input Field and right-click on it. This will open up a Context Menu from which you can choose the Form Field you want to add to the Single Line Text Frame.
Info: You can add multiple Form Fields to a Single Line Text Frame and add Static Text Before, After and in between Form Field Variables (e.g. "${form.Field1}" & "${form.Field2}"). You can even reference other Single Line Text Frames (or Text On Path Frames) Content by Naming the Source Frame and addressing it with ${frame.name.text}. Printess supports String Operations, Conditions, or any other JavaScript Literals.

Add a new Multi Line Text Frame to your document or select a already existing Multi Line Text Frame.
Edit the text by clicking the Pencil Icon in the center of the selected Multi Line Text Frame or go the Text Tab on the Feature Panel and click on "Edit Text".
Type $ where ever you want to add a Form Field to your text. This will open up a Context Menu from which you can choose the Form Field you want to add to the Multi Line Text Frame.
Info: In the Text Edit Mode the Form Field Variables are shown as Javascript Literals (e.g. ${form.Field1}). When you exit the Text Edit Mode by pressing [ESC] or clicking "Close Text Editor" in the Text Tab on the Feature Panel, Printess will automatically replace the Javascript Literals with the current Form Field Value.
