Convert Google Doc to PDF and make it fillable
If you need respondents to complete fields, turn your content into a structured, fillable PDF form.
Plan the form
Identify fields, labels, help text, and validation. Keep the layout simple and scannable to reduce errors and drop‑offs.
Build fields in a form tool
Docs does not create interactive fields directly. Use a form builder or a PDF editor to add text boxes, checkboxes, and signatures to the exported PDF.
Accessibility and usability
Ensure tab order, labels, and clear instructions. Test with keyboard navigation and screen readers if possible.
Version control
Keep the original content in Docs. When text changes, re‑export and reapply fields or use a repeatable template to speed updates.
Distribution
Host the fillable PDF at a stable URL and provide guidance for saving and submitting completed forms.
