Question

HTML document to functioning PDF

Hi how can I create an html document into a functioning PDF?  By functioning I mean a PDF that I can click on the fields and then save that PDF.

Currently I have an html form and I've exported it using a php library.   The form works perfectly well and on my desktop I can click the items.  However when I bring it into my iPhone I cannot view the clickable areas.  I've read that this can be done in javascript but it seems like the documentation is ancient so I don't want to rely on that.  Can you give me any ideas on how I can achieve this?

The goal would be to have a working PDF useable on adobe acrobat app on iPhone or any other device using the same app.

Thank you!

So to be absolutely clear you have converted to a PDF form already and it works on the desktop?

And you have installed the Acrobat Reader app on your phone?

You would need to use a PDF reader on the iPhone that understands forms. You cannot change the default, or make it understand.

Yes I tried it with Adobe Acrobat Reader on iPhone.

Then a fillable form should work. But is the PDF a fillable form? Check in Acrobat Pro on Mac or Windows.
