Make sure that the security settings allow form filling. (See File > Properties > Security.) Make sure that the PDF includes interactive, or fillable, form fields. If you can't type in the form fields, then the fields are probably not interactive.
Hi, all you need to be the save the file as a copy 'file — save as copy'. Close the OPEN doc, then reopen the COPY version. You will then be able to edit the PDF, you will then just have to save the file with reader rights again after you have finished editing.
To do so, open your PDF file in Adobe Acrobat, then click on the Edit PDF tool in the toolbar on the right. When you're in form editing mode, you can make several types of changes to the PDF file. You can edit text, alter a field name, or add new text and fillable fields.
How to create fillable PDF files: Open Acrobat: Click on the “Tools” tab and select “Prepare Form.” Select a file or scan a document: Acrobat will automatically analyze your document and add form fields. Add new form fields: Use the top toolbar and adjust the layout using tools in the right pane. Save your fillable PDF:
Resolution Open the PDF document in Adobe Acrobat. Select the "Prepare Form" tool. Select the form field(s) to unlock. Open the form field properties window. Uncheck "Locked" checkbox in bottom-left corner. Uncheck "Read Only" checkbox. Re-check "Locked" checkbox and select "Close"
If you can't edit a fillable PDF after saving it, there are a couple of reasons. Firstly, the form field properties within the PDF might be set to read-only or locked by the creator, restricting further edits. Secondly, some fillable PDFs may have saving restrictions enabled to preserve the entered information.
To edit a single form field, double-click it or right-click it and choose Properties. To edit multiple form fields, select the fields that you want to edit, right-click one of the selected fields, and choose Properties.
To resolve this, follow these steps: Step 1: Open the PDF Document. Step 2: Access the "Prepare Form" Tool. Step 3: Select Form Fields for Editing. Step 4: Open Form Field Properties. Step 5: Unlock the Form Fields. Step 6: Finalize Changes. Step 7: Preview and Save. Step 8: Save and Close the Document.
