How to Create Fillable PDF Form: Quick Step-by-Step Guide

How to create a fillable PDF form

Let’s get straight to the point and learn how to create a fillable form in PDF Liner. Here are all the steps:

1. Create an account and log in – you can log in with Google or Facebook or create a new account with your email. It’s a necessary step before you learn how to create an editable PDF.
2. Go to “My documents” – Move the cursor to your avatar in the top right corner and click “My documents” in the drop-down menu.
3. Click “Create new document” – click the arrow next to the big red “Add document” button on the right and select “Create new document.”

4. Edit the new document using PDFLiner tools – use the tool panel at the top of the screen to add title, text lines, shapes, brand logos, links, and anything else you need.
5. Add fillable fields – to do this, click the green “Add fields” icon in the top right corner to open the fillable fields editor. Here you can choose fields for text, numbers, dates, signatures, and more. Simply click the needed item in the toolbox on top to use it.

6. Adjust fields – you can not only resize and fill the fields with color but also adjust them using a panel on the right of the screen. For example, you can make fields multiline, select the default letter case, and adjust the max length of fields in the number of symbols.‍
7. Save changes – once you add all the fields you need, click the big red “Save” button to apply the changes.

8. Download or share your fillable form – check if everything is ok, and then click the red “Done” button to download the form or share it. In order to keep it fillable, save it only in PDF format as JPG is a non-interactive format. You can also share a direct link to the form without downloading it. That’s very useful when you need to request a signature or a certain reply quickly.
