Drag & drop the PDF you want to make fillable. In the Annotate tab, Click “Add text box”. Click where you want to insert a form field and type your placeholder text. Add an underline or box to create empty fields to fill out (see below).
In Google Docs, go to Files > Download and save it as a . pdf file. Go to PDFgear online fillable PDF maker, choose the needed fillable form fields from the upper menubar, and click on the PDF page to insert it. Lastly, click Download file to save the fillable PDF.
Filling Out Non-Interactive PDF Forms with PDFpen Select the Text tool. Place the cursor where you want to add text. Next, drag to create a text box. Type your response in the text box you just created. Your text will appear in PDFpen's default font and color. Repeat the steps above to complete the remaining document.
Make sure that the security settings allow form filling. (See File > Properties > Security.) Make sure that the PDF includes interactive, or fillable, form fields. Sometimes form creators forget to convert their PDFs to interactive forms, or they intentionally design a form you can only fill in by hand.
