What is PDF Forms?
PDF Forms adds real, fillable text fields to a PDF at positions you choose. It creates the form; it does not read or fill in a form that someone else already built into their PDF.
Common uses

- Collecting information. Add fields for names, dates and details to a template.
- Internal paperwork. Make standard forms fillable on-screen.
- Applications. Prepare a sheet applicants can complete digitally.
