How to Make a PDF Fillable in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC: Automatically Makes it Fillable!

hey guys how's it going it's jewel tolentino here alright so in this video I'm gonna show you guys how to make a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC [Music] alright so I'm here in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC it sounds like a superhero character and I've got a example of a form that was created and is now a PDF and you want to make it fillable so after you've loaded it up here in Adobe Acrobat you wanna head over to either more tools if you don't see prepare form so I'll just click on it just to show you guys just in case you don't see anything like prepare form so you click on more tools and then you're gonna see like all this other stuff and then click on prepare form and then it's gonna say which one so this is the one it's the one that I have loaded up so I'm going to click start and what's cool is Adobe Acrobat Pro has this option where it can detect places that are fillable and if it can detect it it's going to create a fillable box for it already rather than you having to do it manually now I will say it doesn't get it correct all the time but most of the time it does and it's actually quite useful when it does get it correct if it doesn't get it correct you can easily delete it and manually do it yourself so I'm just gonna leave this here and it's called formfield auto detection it's on and I've left it on but you can turn it off if you don't want it so I'm gonna click start and you'll see now that it automatically pretty much did the fillable areas so these were like boxes that were fillable now I just have to check this and the preview section to see if they did that correctly all right so yeah it is done correctly so as you can see it even did this option right here where you can choose any numbers and this here area is fillable although this font might be too large so i would need to edit that but let's say this didn't do it correctly you would pretty much in here these are all the tools here at the top that you need to make your form fillable in either like drop downs or fill-in boxes check boxes so you can see that this did this one for me but let's say here this one it didn't do this here it didn't do name date and session so far so basically what you would do is click on this add a text field if you hover over things it'll let you know what it is so this is checkbox and you can also kind of tell so this is like those circle things they're called radio buttons and then this is a list of choices and this is a drop-down list and this is a add adding a print kind of button or a Clear button this is adding an image field adding a date field and this is the option to add a digital signature and you can add a barcode field not sure what that would be for so let's do these ones real quick here so these are just basic typing in fields so I'm gonna click this right here and then it's gonna show up like this and then you just drag it now you you might need to zoom in so that you can see that you're doing it properly so I'm gonna zoom in some more actually because it might not be exact actually I'm too zoomed in okay name the field I'm gonna call it name okay and that looks okay so if you want to alter the properties of it like font size and things like that you go to properties and then head to appearance and then right here the font size is 12 and then it this font right here so you can actually change that they have a limited amount of fonts but you can actually make this smaller as well so after you're done you can just click close let's say I wanted a checkbox let's just pretend here for example I'm gonna click this I'll make my checkbox and then this is the date and then if you go to preview preview when you click on that that's when you you'll be able to test things out so you won't be able to test it while you're in the edit you're just clicking it and you can just move it around preview is where you can actually click on it and now it'll do a checkbox as well so that is how you add syllable form fields in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC if I was able to help you out at all please let me know by giving this video a like a comment or subscribe all that would be very much appreciated alright guys thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video [Music] you
