create editable pdf from illustrator?

Hi, I am new to Acrobat and editable PDFs so sorry if this is a total beginner question and approach to obtaining assistance. We are trying to use a layout we have created in Illustrator and make certain areas of this page "editable" for others to edit - check boxes and text fields/dates, mostly. Would someone know if there is a way to do such a thing? I hope this is not too vague, and thanks for any help!
