The Simplest Way To Extract Fillable Fields from PDF forms For Free

Hey everyone, Kevin here. Today I want to show you  how you can create a fillable PDF form entirely   for free. If you've ever wanted to create a PDF  form before, you probably found that you have   to get Adobe Acrobat and it works pretty well,  but it does also carry a hefty price tag of $15   per month. Today I'm going to show you some  free software that will allow you to create   fillable forms. All right, well, let's jump on the  computer and let's get started. To create a PDF   form, we're going to use an application called  LibreOffice. You can get this at the website   libraryoffice.org. I've also included a link in  the description of this video. You can just click   on that and that’ll bring you to this website.  LibreOffice is kind of like Microsoft Office. It   has a similar set of applications. The main  difference is LibreOffice is entirely free,   and it's also open source. Once you land on  the home page, you'll see a pretty prominent   download now button. Let's click on this. On the  next page, you'll see the version of LibreOffice   that you can . I chose to go with the most  recent version. Over here on the right-hand side,   you can choose your operating system. It works  across all different major platforms. Choose   your operating system and then click on download  and run through the installation process. Once you   finish downloading and installing LibreOffice,  go down to your taskbar and type in LibreOffice   Writer. We're going to use the Writer program  to pull together our form and then to save it as   a PDF form. This drops me into LibreOffice Writer,  and if you've ever used an authoring app before,   chances are this will look very familiar. Here you  have things like being able to choose the fonts,   the size, you could set alignment, and then here  down below, we have our canvas where we can start   building our form. Now you probably noticed that  I already started creating just the basics of   what I want to turn into a form. So, with the  Kevin Cookie Company, I put our logo up on top,   I typed in a header, and then I also inserted a  table with some different questions. Now right   now it's not a form yet. This is just the basic  structure and I want to turn this into a form.   To create this area here, I simply used tables.  You could insert a table. You could define the   number of columns and rows and you can very  easily format something that looks like this.   If you really just want to follow along and do  exactly what I'm doing, I've included a link to   this file in the description, so you can click  on that and then you can follow what I'm doing.   Within LibreOffice Writer, they have a whole  bunch of very rich form tools and controls.   If we look up on top at all of these different  menus, there's one called form. That seems   pretty promising, let's ckick on that. Within the  form menu, we have all of these different tools,   and right here, you can insert things like  text boxes, checkboxes,...
