[@ashgoreas]

After watching SEVERAL videos on how to create fillable forms, they all completely changed the format of my Canva PDFs. Beyond frustrating. This video showed me how to EASILY keep my beautiful PDF and make it fillable in half the time! AMAZING!! SO HELPFUL!!

[@travelingdesigner]

You are a ROCKSTAR for persevering through all those frustrating tutorials! Canva PDFs and fillable forms can be a tricky dance, but I'm so happy this video helped you keep your beautiful designs AND make them interactive - that's seriously impressive! Half the time? Now that's what I call productivity magic. Seriously, you're going to be a fillable form whiz in no time. Where are you planning to showcase these amazing printables you've created? Think Etsy shop, your own website, or maybe a killer social media campaign? I can't wait to see what you do with them!

OHHHMYYYGOSH! WHAT IS HAPPENING 😅😂!?!?! I have never in all my time watch the tutorial and in just a couple of minutes felt like I got it! This was the easiest tutorial I've ever seen that involved Canva! Literally you are an angel! Now I just have to figure out how to go back and add more boxes 😅. I definitely subscribed thank you!🎉

[@travelingdesigner]

WOOHOO! Canva champion in the making! Adding boxes is a breeze, and I'm so glad you subscribed! No need to stress about those boxes! Adding more boxes to your design is just as easy as the amazing tutorial you just watched. 😅 Now go forth and create something box-tastic! Thank you so much for your time as well!!

[@ChicLove-tl6fh]

Thank you! Very straight forward and easy to follow. Question: Would these fillable PDF's work for my KDP downloadable digital products/ebooks?

[@travelingdesigner]

You're welcome. No, fillable PDFs won't work directly with KDP downloadable digital products/ebooks. KDP focuses on fixed-layout eBooks: Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is designed for publishing eBooks with a fixed layout. This means the text and formatting stay consistent across different devices. Fillable PDFs are interactive and allow users to input data, which isn't compatible with KDP's fixed-layout format.owever, there are alternative solutions for your fillable PDFs. Consider other platforms. Look into marketplaces like Etsy, Creative Market/Fabrica, or your own website where you can sell fillable PDFs directly. These platforms often cater to downloadable digital products with interactive elements. 😃

Thanks for this video. Question, is there a way to make the paragraph field scrollable?

[@travelingdesigner]

I am not sure at the moment. I know a few people have asked for this feature years ago. :)

[@singasong1123]

this is amazing no doubt. I have noticed that its not fillable by phone ( android ). any help with that ? thanks

[@travelingdesigner]

Thanks for the comment. Did you mean the fillable pdf that you've downloaded from dochub is not working properly upon opening on your phone? :)

[@gracemelyne]

Thank you, great tool!

[@travelingdesigner]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you too! Enjoy the rest of the year and have an awesome 2023!!!

[@Meggals]

Thanks for the video! Can you tell me if there is a tool in either Canva or DocHub that will allow me to change the text style that appears in the fillable boxes?

[@travelingdesigner]

I think you can change it in Dochub when you're setting up all the fillable boxes but once you've saved it as pdf, you won't be able to change it in the pdf.

[@gabrielazubcu88]

Brilliant! Thank you!

[@travelingdesigner]

You're very welcome!

[@NYCKcoaching]

I thought this was great, thank you. The one issue I had was with the page breaks, and controlling where the Document breaks when I downloaded to Doc Hub. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks

What exactly do you mean? Did it change after you downloaded it from dochub?

[@rosyshearing5263]

Thank you. Is there an easier way to do this for a whole planner?a bulk method? Thanks very much

[@travelingdesigner]

There are other ways of making a pdf file fillable. You can use Acrobat or you can design everything in Indesign and make it fillable from there. Bulk method , not that I know of. Since you have to decide which elements are going to be fillable, you have to do it per page. :) I could be wrong. There may be some applications that can detect text boxes or checkboxes already that I don't know yet. :) Please let me know if you found one. :)

Hi, thank you so much for your very helpful video! Question, what if I have multiple pdf pages but some of them doesn't need to be fillable, do I need a paid plan for dochub for me to be able to upload that file with multiple pages?

[@travelingdesigner]

There is definitely a limit to the number of pages that you can upload on a free account with dochub. Please check this out: dochub.com/pricing.

[@se2413]

Thankyou so much, i have a question, the fillable spots is blue can i make it clear?

I gather I have to buy pro version to do this? As soon as I uploaded my file, I could not see the menu bar at top that you showed or manage field. Am I missing something?

No, you don't have to. I created this on a free account. :) Maybe the app has been updated or you have to show the menu.

Hi, I have a question. I followed your video instructions step by step. I like to be able to send the form to my customers to fill-out. It works when I download it to my desktop. BUT, when I send I emailed it out the person that I emailed it to cannot fill out he form way?

[@travelingdesigner]

Thank you too and you're welcome. What program did that person use? It should be a program that can open PDF files. But even Preview (mac) should be okay (as you can see in the video). This would be a stupid question but did you save the fillable file or maybe you sent the wrong file? 😉

[@jessicahanisch]

Hi there! Just wondering how to flatten the other elements on Canva (without flattening the part that will be fillable). I combine resources on Adobe and password encrypt. After that, I can't edit. Would love to know how!

[@travelingdesigner]

Hi!! Understanding that you want to flatten elements in Canva while keeping the fillable part intact can be tricky. Unfortunately, Canva doesn't have a direct 'flatten' option like some other design software. However, here are a few workarounds you might find helpful: Grouping elements: Combining the elements you want to flatten into a group can help lock them together. Creating a background: Placing a solid color or image behind the elements you want to flatten can give the appearance of flattening. Duplicating the page: If you're comfortable with it, you can duplicate the page, flatten one version, and keep the other editable.

[@jessicahanisch]

@@travelingdesigner Thank you! How exactly do I combine the elements to flatten? Clicking "Ctrl" doesn't allow me to hold and select multiple text boxes, and if I click and drag to select, I have to select all.

[@travelingdesigner]

Hold 'Shift' and click on the elements that you want to group.

[@liatyigal-ginat8712]

Tnx ! is there's a way to set the the language ?

[@bronzyace7996]

[@travelingdesigner]

Thanks!

[@EverythingDig]

I have a multi page planner with a lot of lines, so would I have do the fillable one by one for all the pages or I do it on one page and it changes on the other pages?

[@travelingdesigner]

You have to do it per page. It doesn't carry on to the other pages. :)

[@karimcdonald7670]

Question- Does this site host/provide a direct URL to the fillable you created? I’m not sure how that works at all. I’m changing my salon booking software and their forms are the only feature I found to be severely lacking. But they do have the option of pasting a URL that will be embedded in an appointment confirmation email that also serves as a form-fill prompt…like I said this is not my forté at all and first thought I had is that I’m probably going to have to use a form site to host my forms which means there’s probably monthly fees in there somewhere😅 I’m lost. If you can help, that’s great. Or if someone has done this before and could possibly point me in the right direction? This video itself was incredibly helpful as well- thanks jet!

[@travelingdesigner]

Thank you and you're welcome, Karin. :) I am not sure if it provides a url however, you can use Google Forms for what you need, I think. Try it out: www.google.com/forms/about/
