Hi @tekles,
Thanks for your question. I can see where the confusion comes from, since Acrobat has different ways to work with forms depending on what you need.
If your goal is just to make an existing PDF fillable:
In Acrobat (even in older versions), you can usually go to Tools > Forms (or Prepare Form in newer versions).
From there, Acrobat can detect fields automatically, or you can manually add text fields, checkboxes, etc.
If your goal is for participants to fill it out directly on a website and then submit it back:
Acrobat itself doesn’t provide a built-in way to publish a live web form.
You’d need either:
To host the PDF on your site so users can download, fill, and send back (via email button, for example), or
Use a service like Adobe Acrobat Sign or another online form service that integrates with web pages.
And, if you want participants to fill out the form directly on your website and submit it online, Acrobat alone won’t do that. The recommended option is to use an Adobe Acrobat Sign web form. With Acrobat Sign, you can:
Convert your PDF into a web form,
Publish it as a link or embed it directly into your website,
Collect responses securely, and track everything from your Sign dashboard.
Here’s an overview: Adobe Sign Web Forms Help
Could you clarify if you want:
A PDF people download, fill, and email back,
or
An actual form embedded on your website that participants complete online?
That will help the community point you to the best steps or resources.
