Question

How can I make an electronically fillable workbook from an existing pdf

Dear experts,

I have an existing catalog of children's workbooks whose illustrated activity sheets require multiple-line answers, sometimes answers on a curved path. How would I accomplish this in Acrobat?

Thanks,

Carl

Hi Meenakshi,

Actually, I have further questions. I found out the use case is for students with disabilities who would be using voice-to-type accommodations to complete the written portions of the workbook. What do you think about this use case?

- Because the lines in the image don't line up I would use individual text fields, instead of a single multi-line field.

You can add it via Tools - Forms - Prepare Form - Add New Field - Text Field.

- Adding text on a curve is not possible in a PDF form field.

Hi Dax! Thanks so much for responding to me. If there are courses on Linked In (or any other resources) that would point me in the right direction I would at least like to see what's involved. As you can see from the images, the worksheets are illustrated so sometimes it involves drawing and/or and multi-line responses which wouldn't be possible for students with disabilities. I'd love to know how to make it accessible. Thanks again.

Chad Chelius' courses on LinkedIn Learning for Accessible Forms and PDFs are a great place to start.
