Hi there,

 

Hope youa re doing well and thanks for reaching out.

 

You can make a PDF fillable and signable using Adobe Acrobat desktop app as follows:

  • Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat desktop app (not Reader).
  • Go to the “Tools” menu and choose “Prepare Form.”
  • Select the PDF file you want to use. Acrobat will automatically detect and add form fields, or you can manually add text fields, checkboxes, drop-downs, etc.
  • Once done, save the file.- 
  • Now your PDF is fillable.


To make it signable:

  • Add a Signature field from the toolbar in the “Prepare Form” mode.
  • Save the form and share it with others.

They can then fill in the fields and sign using Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.


If you want to send it for e-signatures, you can also use Adobe Acrobat Sign directly from Acrobat under the “Request Signatures” option.
