Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for generating form field elements in a document based on hyperlinks with the form field properties representing properties of a form field. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the method may include generating a visible anchor element in a first document, the visible anchor element representing a hyperlink containing the form field properties of a form field of the first document. The method may further include converting the first document from a first format to a second document in a second format. The method may further include generating a form field element in the second document based on the hyperlink containing the form field properties.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- generating a visible anchor element in a first document, the visible anchor element representing a hyperlink containing form field properties of a form field of the first document;
- converting the first document from a first format to a second document in a second format;
- and
- generating a form field element in the second document based on the hyperlink containing the form field properties.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- generating a visible anchor element in a first document, the visible anchor element representing a hyperlink containing form field properties of a form field of the first document;
- converting the first document from a first format to a second document in a second format;
- and
- generating a form field element in the second document based on the hyperlink containing the form field properties.
A system comprising:
- a memory component;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the memory component, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a processing device, an input, the input including a first document generated using a word processing application;
- identifying a visible anchor element representing a hyperlink containing form field properties of a form field of the first document;
- converting the first document in a first format to a second document in a second format;
- and
- generating a form field element at a first location in the second document corresponding to a second location of the identified visible anchor element in the first document.
