Editing a Rectangle Element

Edit a rectangle element in ABBYY FormDesigner via the Element Properties window: set position and size, line width, style, color, corners, and background.

For each rectangle element, the following properties can be specified: position and size, line width and color, style, corners, background color.

You can change the properties of the frame element in the Element Properties window located in the bottom right corner of the main window. The Element Properties window is displayed only if View → Element Properties is selected on the main menu.
