Fillable PDF forms

xlxu001 — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 19:59:00 GMT

We are thinking about having a Word template and then exporting to PDF using the Word VBO, but when we export, the field needed is not fillable. We also tried to see if the PDF Toolkit would help and no success either.

Hi Lourdes,

I tried it out on my end. After opening the pdf, and navigating to Tools-> Fill & Sign, I could get to fill the document. Does it work for you as well?

What about creating that fillable PDF? Any ideas?

@xlxu001 I think what @shashank.kumar280 is saying is that he went through the same steps as you (i.e. creating the form in Word and exporting it to PDF), and then to fill the fields he just had to select an option in Adobe under the Tools menu.

Does that work for you?

Cheers,

I am not sure about application requirements for these business process steps, but Interact would be a great candidate for these kinds of steps.
