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
