Open Adobe Acrobat Pro on your computer.
Select the Tools tab.
Find and select Prepare Form under Forms.
Choose an existing file to use as your form, or select the option to create a new one.
Best practiceIf your form is not already a PDF, convert it to PDF before starting this process.
Click Start to let Acrobat detect form fields automatically, or manually add fields as needed.
Best practiceLetting Acrobat auto-detect fields can save time, but always review and adjust the detected fields for accuracy.
Use the toolbar to add, move, or delete form fields such as text boxes, checkboxes, and drop-down lists.
Double-click any form field to edit its properties, such as name, tooltip, and appearance.
When finished, use File > Save to save your fillable PDF form.
You can quickly test your form by switching to Preview mode in the Prepare Form tool to see how users will fill it out.
This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
A 'Tooltip' is a small description for a form field that shows up when you hover over it. It is important because it helps people who use screen readers understand what information to put into each field, making your form easier for everyone to use.
Yes, you can still use a scanned image, but it's best to start with a clear, well-structured document like a Word file. Acrobat can auto-detect fields, but starting with a clean source makes the process much smoother and reduces errors, saving you time in adding and adjusting fields.
You should not use Word's form tools because they do not export correctly to accessible PDF fields. This means that when you convert the Word document to a PDF, the form fields might not work as expected or be accessible to everyone, like those using screen readers.
