You can do it using form fields. See: Acrobat Help | Forms

Hello,

Thanks for the response.

Is necessary to pay fill & sign tools to send the fillable document?

[try67]

No. You can share the form just like any other file, through email or by uploading it to a website and putting a link to it on your web-page, etc.

I wonder if I have to pay the version to use this tool, the ‘’Fill & Sign’’ thing. Because when I scan the document and then when I’m going to send it, Adobe immediately redirects me to the page where they offer to pay the version to continue and send the document.

This is the only way? Should I use the ‘’Fill & Sign’’ tool for this?

Thank you very much.

PD: I already tried saving the document after filling it, but when I open it, it’s not fillable.

I'm not exactly clear on what you're doing, or what application you're using. Is this Adobe Acrobat or Adobe (Acrobat) Reader?

If the latter then you can't add form fields (well, you can, but it's complicated), but you can add comments and then save the file and send it. Forget about the Fill & Sign panel.

Well, I’m using the trial of Adobe Acrobat PRO DC. The thing that I want to do is make a document fillable in PDF, then send it to my clients as an attached file so they can fill it with their information. What form field I need to use in this case?

Thank you.

Depends on the kind of input you want to get from them...

Look, this is an example of my document, the one that I need to email to my clients, as an attached file PDF in a way that they can type the information that I need.

How can I make it possible? What tool I need to use?

Thank you very much for your help.

You should follow the hyperlink given in the 2nd answer of this topic.

Acrobat is not a magic wand which convert any document into a form, you should plan to spend time to learn and use it.

After you create the form fields using Adobe Acrobat; you can add a submit button to the form. The button can submit the form and email the recipients using a MAPI client such as OUTLOOK or Web Mail; or you can use a more reliable method and set the button to submit to a server-side script which will bypass client-side email software and send the submission using an existing SMTP account.

Note: Sending the submission using a MAPI client requires each end-user to properly configure their email client and also manually send the email.
