How to convert PDF Form to Web Form for filling through browser?
PDF forms can now be easily converted into an online form to be filled in Writer. Here's how:
1. Open Writer (https://writer.zoho.com/writer/documents) and go to Create new > Fillable Template > Create over PDF or go to http://writer.zoho.com/new and go to File > New Automation Template > Fillable Template > Create over PDF.
2. Now upload your PDF form onto Writer. Writer will now ask if you want to scan the form for possible fillable fields. Click on Auto Insert fields.
3. After the fields have been inserted, you can edit the sizes of these digital fields, make corrections manually, and insert additional content over the PDF form using textboxes, shapes, images etc. You can also add required form fields, such as a drop-down list, list box, or buttons by clikcing on the Fillable Fields tab.
4. Now go to Automate. You can choose from a wide range of submission options. Enabling these options will tell Writer what to do with the form after it has been filled and submitted by the recipients.
5. After you're done, click on Share to Fill, and add the names of the recipients and hit Share. You can also send the form to be filled by anyone who has access to the link by clicking on the New external share link option.
