Design Fillable PDF Forms From Scratch
To create a fillable PDF form, just add texts, pictures, and various interactive fields to a blank document. With FineReader PDF, it is easy to create form fields by adding such elements as text fields, dropdown lists, radio button groups, check boxes, signature fields, and buttons.
Make Your Forms Look Great
Neat, clear fillable PDF forms are much easier to use. In FineReader PDF's Form Editor, adjust the appearance, size, and position of the form elements. The alignment assistant will help align them easily.
Set Actions
Set the required fields. Add buttons and assign actions to collect information or guide users to submit the form, open a file or a web link, go to a page, run JavaScript, or reset the form.
Repurpose Existing Fillable Forms
Create an interactive form based on an existing one. You can even add fillable fields in a non-fillable PDF to convert it to a fillable form.
