How to Make a Form

[Aliciamarie0413]

I need help. I am trying to take a word document and make it into a fillable reusable template for me to be able to send to my employees to fill out after they are done with jobs. I have Acrobat Pro DC. Is this something that is even possible? 

[Aliciamarie0413]

I am using Mac to create them. They will be pulled up on IPads to be filled out as well.

In Adobe Acrobat use Tools > Prepare Form and create the form.

I have created the form into fillable. I just don't know how to turn it into a reusable fillable template.

Store the form at one place where nobody can overwrite it.

You can also set the individual file to read only. When one tries to save it, it will come up as a save-as. If one tries to overwrite it, it will not allow it and request a name change.

I am not seeing the option to set it as read only.

Mac or Windows?
