# Saving a Form

> Save forms in ABBYY FormDesigner as *.fdd Form Definition Files, and save form samples as *.dtf or page samples as *.ptf with the Save As command.

To save a form, use the standard **Save** or **Save As...** commands (**File →** **Save** or **File →** **Save As...**).

The **Save As...** command will save either a form or a [form or page sample](/flexi-capture/form-designer/form-sample). To select a format, use the **Save as type** drop-down list.

Forms created in ABBYY FormDesigner are saved as `*.fdd` files (Form Definition Files).

Form samples are binary files with the extension `*.dtf`. Page samples are saved in `*.ptf` format, which is a modified version of `*.fdd` format.
