[@marileen._.]

Literally sat at work & went through the steps by following the video. This was my first time making a fillable PDF & it was sooo simple. I feel like a pro. Thank you!

[@ArkitectFitness]

Thank god. Took me a good 20 minutes of searching to find a video that explains this. All of the top search returns are from at least 5 years ago and Adobe looks totally different now. Thanks for the help!

[@EssetinoMedia]

No problem, happy to help!

[@nikkihill2523]

This was so helpful! I'm amazed that Adobe can't create a tutorial as useful as this. Thank you!

[@SarahMacDermott]

I went on to the Adobe website to find out how to do this - an they made my brain melt it was so confusing! Thanks for making this make sense and 'doable'!

[@terabytetron1]

Your video is now the most updated version out there. Everything else is from the old version of Acrobat. Kudos!! B-)

[@EssetinoMedia]

Thank you!

[@thebillybadassband]

Thank you, I've been all over Adobe's site, watched their tutorials and have been making myself crazy. The information I actually needed, you managed to showed me in the first 60 seconds.

[@EssetinoMedia]

Awesome, your comment made my day 🙂

[@eatoner5]

Thank you for the most helpful information. There are so many tutorials about creating a new fillable form, but this is the first one that I've found explaining how to make an existing form fillable. And thank you for doing what you said you were going to do in the title. I came here from a video that did not. Keep the great content coming. You are a rockstar.

[@Medic432]

Doing 1st one right now. THIS WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL. Very simple and concise. Adobe make it easy too, but your video was AWESOME !!!

[@JJSmalls]

Way better than the Adobe's official site. Thank you!

[@carpediemwithLesli]

I have spent days looking at different tutorials on how to do this and I got so frustated!! But with only 2 or 3 simple clicks; I was able to do all the forms that I needed!! Thank you soooo much!!

[@EssetinoMedia]

You are very welcome, happy to help!

[@kristinelestrange2346]

This was super helpful. I watched a couple of videos, none of them made sense except yours! Thanks so much!

I've created a few fillable PDFs before, this was an excellent refresher!

[@gardenersdelight7479]

Thanks so much! I completely missed that there was a preview button and so was getting confused thinking my form hadn’t worked properly until I watched this. Really helpful, thank you so much.

[@aroojahmed4519]

Do we have to buy monthly plan for this ?

[@susang6990]

Thank you so much for this quick video. This is the first time I have created a fillable pdf and you made it super easy.

[@EssetinoMedia]

You are so welcome!

[@misterwill3625]

Clearly explained. Thank you. I did and got one line in PDF from the original word document that I can’t delete or extend. Any ideas?

[@MsBiz888]

You really helped me tremendously, thank you! I tried to change the font size but it is greyed out? Also how to change the font sizes all at once instead of going to each box? Kindly please help.

[@amycracchiolo6602]

Once you do all of that ( very helpful, clear and concise! ). Do you have to save it a certain way so save as fillable? My agent went to open it and could not type in the boxes.

[@ashleysue21]

This helped a lot! I've worked with Adobe programs but not in Acrobat. Thanks!

[@christinenakonecznyj3207]

Very simple to follow. Thank you. Problem is my Mac client can open the "fillable form" but PC client can't. Why?

[@kuwarpayarak7457]

Very helpful thank you. Haven't used fillable forms for a while and had forgotten how to do it, but, you video helped heaps!

Wow, appreciate you taking the time to comment. You are very welcome, I'm glad this video helped :)

[@Tiffany-RemoteOfficeGirl]

Am I understanding correctly that you can create the form in any program, export it as a PDF and then make it fillable in Adobe Acrobat Pro? Are there some programs that tend to translate better? Like Word vs Pages vs Google Docs? Thank you for the great video.

Thank you. Just what I've been looking for. Very clear instructions. Can't wait to try them. I need to create a fillable expense report form. Do u have instructions on how to do basic math?

[@EssetinoMedia]

You're welcome! No I don't have a video on that but my business partner has designed something like this before for our clients with calculated fields. If you'd like her to design your expense report form for you, please send the details of your project to [e-mail] (I'll give her a heads up to let her know) :)

[@kathyfergione4391]

Your video was so helpful! Thank you!! I do have a question I'm hoping you can help with. I have my form all created now with dropdowns and signature boxes etc. My question is, I want to have them fill this out when they are with me, with a tablet, and then email both of us a copy. How would I do that? I've already added a permanent signature for myself and I've figured out emailing to them first to get their signature but I want this to work more like a receipt for lack of a better term. Can you please help me with this? I've been searching tutorials online but can't find one that explains it. Obviously, I'm not putting in the right criteria but I just can't figure out how to resay it. Any assistance that you could provide would be helpful.

[@maihsmy.]

I need to know this one as well.

[@SPCDigitalMedia]

Very helpful. I am creating certificates for my jobs LMS (Learning management system) via Illustrator and then converting them to PDF and adding the fields. Do you have any tips on creating them in Illustrator to allow for easier form creation?

[@emily6730]

Can you make the text line spacing different in fillable forms?

[@danemmerich6775]

So do you have to make a form in word or Adobe first, and then finish it in PDF Fillable Forms, correct?

[@Malecare]

Simple and easy to understand video..thank you! Two questions: Is there a way to download/print the completed form so that unaswered questions do not appear in the printout? Also, is there a way for the creator to collect the data from the user entries (sort of like creating a survey that users can fill in and download/print their answers, but where the survey creator receives the answers to a database or some other way.)

[@pdfform]

@Malecare yes you can do it. Join our channel for creating advance featured form like calculations , Submit button PDF Stamps etc

[@BobbyDecibel]

This was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[@mattjohnson88]

Wow! This tutorial is super helpful. I have a client who wants to do this but have calculations happen once a number is added in. ie; Having 50 sales at $300 per sale would total $15,00 dollars of revenue. Your video tells me how to populate the fields. Can we take it a step further to have math calculations generate based on numerical entry? Thank you.

[@Amanda-ry8np]

That's exactly what I was looking for in a video as well

[@georgemantoan3772]

A very helpful video and your examples plus the way you explanation was so detailed made this complex issue very understandable. Thank you very much.

[@gottliebdee263]

Not sure if anybody is still watching this but if you are editing/adding multiple text boxes is it possible to have Acrobat automatically snap them to a grid? For example at 04:10 rather than having to manually line things up it would be great if the software auto aligned along a particular datum.

[@embellishmarin4647]

Lifesaving. I have a form I’ve been working on and you just got me unstuck.

[@DaOriginalJonesy]

[@BreakingBarriersUnited]

super helpful and to the point thank you!

[@davidchadwick5423]

Perfect, thank you. Question: Is there a way to program a text box to wrap text? Is their address is super long or something whereby they keep typing to the end of the box, can the text wrap and start a new line? On some fillables I have had to fill in, the text started shrinking in size as I kept typing against the limit of the box. It looked horrible. Second question: If I have a big text box, is there a way to implement the 'Return' function so the curser goes down one 'line' and allows more typing? Thank you

[@EssetinoMedia]

Yes, I created a tutorial on this, it should answer your questions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpC7ZZWDotx_ptk

[@davidchadwick5423]

@@EssetinoMedia thank you very much. What if my text box is only one line tall yet the filler person types longer than the box? Can we create a box that will automatically expand to capture the second line with of typing?

[@pdfform]

@@davidchadwick5423 go to text field properties under option tab there is option called multiline just check that and then your text will go to next line automatically

[@jamienodell7109]

Very Helpful. Quick, to the point, and all the useful tools. Love tutorials like this. More please:)

[@katiegardner9645]

When adding a fillable text field, how to do you make it a paragraph? Like I tried what you said, but if the words were longer then the short box I made then it just kept going to nowhere (like in a paragraph the sentences would continue right below it). Not sure if that makes sense.

[@royaldiadem762]

Helped a great deal, but I dont see all the items on the menu like text and sign

[@BulletxTooth32]

Question, did you first create the form somewhere else and then made it fillable in Adobe or did you do it all in Adobe?

[@paulodias7574]

How can I create a field where the client can sign on a tablet with a tablet pen instead of a digital signature?

[@ehchan1995]

Thank you for the tutorial! I had a question not about creating PDF's but filling them out. My PDF does not have a clickable option for the bubble in answers. Is there a way when editing the PDF, to fill in the bubble with my answer? So far I have just been using the pencil tool in the comment section to draw a line through the bubble. Is there a way to fill in the bubble instead of drawing a line through it?

so after i do that what do i do? do i save it will the file remain fillable forever?
