Please help: Is there a way to make interactive fill-out forms in any Adobe Software and export them

Question

HelloMy teacher gave me a task to create an interactive fill-out form using Adobe Products. I am not familiar with this and have no idea if he is just testing my knowledge, or if this is really possible. Here is the task he gave me:Design the form in Illustrator or InDesign and export it only in PDF (this I understand). What I don't understand is how to make it interactive:The form needs to have squares with questions (Who is your favorite writer, What is your favorite band, etc).Once the user clicks on those squares with questions the question disappears, and they can type their answer instead in that same square.Everything in the document needs to fit a specific color palette.Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi, @jovanap24474329; you're asking for a LOT of tutorials in a forum that is mostly dedicated to answers for people's problems and issues rather than tutorials.

Fortunately, there are MANY tutorials out there on how to do this. I strongly suggest you use InDesign because you will learn as you go. If you use Google search for "how to make an interactive acrobat form in indesign." I'd also suggest this one video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2MunphyhkI, because this goes into more detail.

And, since you are in school, IF they provide a LinkedIn membership with video tutorials (LinkedIn Learning), I also strongly suggest you look at those.

What your teacher is having you do is certainly possible, and they are doing you a service to have you do this. It's a great learning process.

Good luck!
