How to make a PDF fillable here

  1. Open your PDF. A Word document saved as PDF works well, and so does a scan.
  2. Place the $1.99 hold on Stripe’s card page. Nothing is charged yet.
  3. Press Find blanks. We add a fillable box above each blank line and inside each empty square we find, and name each box after the words next to it, such as “Name” or “Date”.
  4. Check each box. Drag one to move it, pull its corner to resize it, press Name to rename it, or Delete to remove it.
  5. Add any we missed with Text box (drag to draw it) and Checkbox (click to place it).
  6. Leave “Lock the answers” off at download so the boxes stay fillable, then press Download.

Before you send it

Open the downloaded PDF and type into each box once to check its size. A box that’s too short cuts off what people type. If one needs fixing, open your original PDF again in the same browser within 24 hours; you won’t pay twice for the same PDF.

Draw a box taller than about two lines of text (30 points) and it accepts several lines of typing, which suits addresses and comments.

Questions

How does Find blanks decide where boxes go?

It looks at the page for thin printed lines with empty space above them, and for small empty squares. It skips places that already have a fillable box. It won’t be right every time, so check what it adds.

Will people be able to fill in my PDF with their own app?

The boxes are standard PDF form fields, the kind most PDF apps let people type into. Send a test copy to yourself and open it on your phone and your computer before sending it out.

Can I add a signature box?

Draw a text box where the signature goes. The person can type their name there, or sign on top of it.

Do I need Adobe Acrobat?

No. The editing happens in your browser, here.
