How to Create a Fillable PDF in Adobe Acrobat [TUTORIAL] | Using Adobe to Create Digital Products

hey bosses I'm just jumping on here really quickly because I get a lot of messages from people asking about how they can start creating digital products and selling them online so to be honest my creative kit that I sell right now was kind of involved and how to teach myself Photoshop but the very initial digital download that I sold online that's it very well was a fillable PDF so I thought it would be really helpful for you guys to learn how to create your own fillable PDF in Adobe so if you guys want to dip your toes into the digital product world then I think this video will be very useful for you so I hope you guys enjoy this let's get into the tutorial ok so here we are on Adobe Acrobat and just to let you guys know I do have a yearly subscription to Adobe I got for a discount so I think it cost about three hundred and fifty dollars for the year but I also use it for premiere and Photoshop etc so I think that you might be able to get just Adobe Acrobat for cheaper but yeah you definitely need a subscription and paid subscription in order to make your PDFs fillable so it's not like Adobe Reader DC that is free okay so I'm just using this worksheet that I made for one of my clients as an example of how to fill out the form so what you do is you go to tools and you go to prepare form so you want to click on that and there's a field here that says form field auto-detection is on that actually never works for me but maybe it will this time around this is the correct file I'm gonna hit start it never finds the the fields maybe because I make them super light I'm not sure okay so you're going to click on this little box right here which is the add a text field and basically you're just going to select the field what you can also do is you can change the properties you can change the font size and the type of font the positioning of it but that's fine right there you can change the alignment so where the text starts left center right you can do multi lines so they can hit return so they can like space it out by line so there's some more advanced features but I'm just gonna teach you the general way okay so let's close and you could copy and paste this but if you were to copy this text and then paste it when the recipient types text in it's going to populate for all that you copied and pasted so you just want to go ahead and make a box for each one if the text is different okay I'm not going to go ahead and and do all of them but what you can do is go to preview and when you save it it will look like this okay and basically once you're all finished you need to save this in a specific way in order for the recipient to be able to edit it and the recipient does not need to have a membership to Adobe they can download Adobe Reader DC which is free and they can open this editable PDF edit it and they can also save their changes you want to go to file - save as other and then you want to go to reader extended PDF and what you want to select from there is enable more tools includes form fill and save so this is how you want to save it in order for your recipient to be able to edit it and then save their changes so I'm gonna hit save now and let's test it out okay so I'm going to open this up and then they will be able to save it so when they open it up again let's open it up with preview boom there you go okay so I hope this tutorial was helpful if it was then give this video a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe to my channel let me know if you have any questions or any video requests down below in the comment section thank you so much for watching and I'll catch you in the next video bye guys
