Create forms using Acrobat
You can convert an existing electronic document (for example, a Word, Excel, or PDF document) or scan a paper
document to a PDF form, and then add interactive form fields to the form.
Note: When you convert a document to an Acrobat form, Acrobat detects the form fields in the document. You need to
examine the document carefully to verify that Acrobat detected the correct fields.
You can create forms from an existing electronic document (for example, a Word, PDF, or Excel document) or scan a
paper form into a PDF form.
1 Choose File > Create > PDF Form.
2 Do one of the following, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
• To convert an existing electronic document (for example, Word or PDF) to a PDF form, select Use The Current
Document or Browse to a file.
Note: If you don’t want to use the wizard, you can open the file, and then choose Tools > Forms > Edit to convert a PDF
document to an Acrobat form. Acrobat detects the document type, converts it to PDF, and detects and creates fields.
• To scan a paper form and convert it to a PDF form, select Scan a Paper Form.
Acrobat creates the form and opens it in the form edit mode. The Forms task pane displays the options that you’ll need
to edit the form.
To create a form from scratch, in Acrobat choose Tools > Pages > More Insert Options > Insert Blank Page, and then
choose Tools > Forms > Edit.

Form Wizard automatically create check boxes

Create online forms using FormsCentral
Note: This feature is available in Acrobat 10.0.1 and 9.4.2 and later.
Adobe FormsCentral is an online service—accessible through a web browser—for creating and distributing online
forms and surveys. You distribute the link, and then Adobe hosts the form, and collects and compiles the responses.
Recipients need only a web browser and any Internet-connected device, including a tablet or smartphone, to fill in
forms created using FormsCentral.
1 Do one of the following to start the FormsCentral wizard:
• Choose File > Create > PDF Form Or Online Form.
• In the Tools pane on the right, open the Forms panel and select Create.
2 Select the option Create Or Edit A Form Using The Online Application.
Note: You can click the FormsCentral.adobe.com link below this option to skip the rest of the wizard and go directly
to the service. Once you sign up for an account or sign in with an existing Adobe ID account, you can start creating
online forms using your web browser.
3 Click Next.
4 On the Create Or Edit Form dialog box, do one of the following.
• Click the View More link to show additional form templates available in the FormsCentral service. Then sign
up for an account or sign in with an existing Adobe ID account.
