Add a form field after it's generated

[CTBF Mentoring]

I created a fillable form using an existing pdf. Some of the fields I want to be "fillable" did not register with the "Prepare Forms" module. How can I manually add them after the fact?

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, you have created a fillable PDF form from an existing PDF and some fields were not created properly and are not fillable.

You may draw these fillable fields manually. Just open the PDF > Go to Tool > Prepare Form > Select 'Add text field option' and drag the mouse to draw the fields manually as required on the PDF form.

Let us know if you experience any trouble and need more help.

Thank you, Amal. That worked wonderfully. I got the form completed and out the door.

I have been trying to add the text field but the boxes that appear are bigger than the space to fill them in. I have not been able to make them the correct size.  ie I have four spaces.  ____________   _______________   ___________  ______________. When I click on add text field, the field that appears covers one and a half spaces.
