## Discover how to easily add a custom field in a mapped PDF.

To add a custom field, follow these steps:

1. Go to the **PDF Mapping **homepage, then select and open the mapped PDF that you would like to edit.
2. On the left-hand sidebar, open the **Custom Fields **panel, then open the **PDF Field Generators **panel.
3. Click one of the field types (text, dropdown, checkbox, or radio) to select it, then move your cursor to the PDF and click again to add the new custom field.
