Can I create a fillable form using Document Cloud only?

Question

The network I use while working is managed and downloads are restricted. Only certian people have access to the full array of ADOBE tools through Acrobat Pro. However, I pay for my own Acrobat license which I have on my personal computer at home (I am not bringing work home with me and not getting paid for it). That said, I am only given standard access to Acrobat Reader on my work computer at work, but if I were able to create fillable forms it would make my life so much easier. I need to know if there is a solution to create, doenload, and save a fillable PDF, using only the Document Cloud web based system? I know how to upload, convert and  edit a Word or Excel documentusing the Document Cloud but there does not seem to be an option for adding fillable fields. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi Sean,

Thank you for reaching out.

I am afraid to say this, it is not possible to create a PDF form via the Acrobat Online account (on Document Cloud). You will need the Acrobat Desktop application for that.

If it is okay, then you may use your subscription on the work machine. You may use the subscription on two devices; however, you can use your app on only one computer at a time. For more information, please refer to the following help document: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-apps-number-of-computers.html.

Check if that works for you.

Thanks,

Meenakshi
