I have a multipage PDF document of which one page only needs to be a fillable form. How do I make only that one page, and not the entire document, fillable?

Being "fillable" is not a property of the file. The user can fill in form fields that you add to it, or add comments anywhere else.

I have 4 pages in an existing pdf which are not fillable. Once i add a new 5th page, a pre-existing PDF which already has fillable fields, all 5 pages in the new PDF tell me that they are fillable and will not let me add text to any of them.
How do I add the 5th page to this existing PDF without forcing all 5 pages to be fillable?

What do you mean by "tell me they are fillable"? Fillable means they contain form fields. If you added a page containing form fields to a document without form fields, those pages should still be without form fields.

Only add fields to that page. I assume you are using the prepare form automation instead of doing it manually. If so you can extract the page you want fillable, run the automation on that page only, then add the page back into the document. The easiest to extract the page is to open the pages panel and drag the page out to your desktop. Once it is fillable, drag the file back into your pages panel and delete the original page by selected it in the pages panel and pressing the delete key.
