I need to create a PDF that can be edited on my phone.

Hi there,

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble.

It sounds like you’re referring to creating fillable form fields in a PDF that could previously be viewed and filled out easily on mobile, showing those blue boxes for text input. If those boxes are no longer visible, Is this an issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check.

• Confirm you’re creating a Fillable PDF –
  Ensure that the PDF you create still has interactive form fields (text fields, checkboxes, etc.). If you’re using Create PDF or Create Module, try recreating the file and check if “Form fields” or “Interactive form” is selected before exporting.

• Use Acrobat on Mobile –
  Make sure both you and the recipient are opening the file in the Adobe Acrobat Reader app, not through a browser or another PDF viewer. Other apps may not display the blue fillable boxes correctly.

• Test on Desktop –
  Open the same file in Acrobat on desktop and check whether the form fields are visible there. If they show up on desktop but not mobile, try re-saving the file using Prepare Form in Acrobat desktop to ensure full compatibility with mobile form filling.

Let us know how  it goes.
