How do I make a PDF fillable?

Open your PDF, add text boxes, checkboxes and dropdowns where you want them, then download. The result is a PDF with real form fields anyone can complete in Acrobat, a browser or DailyDone. It runs entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

What is the difference between this and Fill a PDF Form?

Create a Fillable PDF adds the fields to a document that has none. Fill a PDF Form completes fields that already exist. Use this tool first if your form is just a flat page or a scan, then fill it in or send it out.

Can I add checkboxes and dropdowns, not just text boxes?

Yes. You can place single-line text boxes, multi-line paragraphs, checkboxes and dropdown menus, name each field, mark it required, and set the choices for a dropdown.
