Do you create questionnaires or forms for your clients to fill in?
Perhaps you are a web designer or a coach that wants to get to know their clients first before starting a project. For short forms you can use a free service like Typeform. But if your form is more comprehensive it might be a good idea to make a form that the user can fill in, save, and come back to later. A good way to do this is with Adobe Acrobat.
I create fillable wedding invitation templates for my printables business, so I have come to learn Adobe Acrobat quite well.
Design your document
The first thing you need to do is design the document in a program like Illustrator or InDesign. Add any logos and/or design elements here. You don’t need to enter any text here – you can do that in Acrobat.
Start preparing your form
Save the document as a PDF and open it in Adobe Acrobat. I’m using the latest version at the time of writing – called Acrobat DC. If you have an older version, this might look a bit different.
On the right-hand side is a menu. Click on Prepare Form. If you don’t see the menu, press Shift + F4.
When asked, click Start.
