This was LITERALLY RIGHT ON TIME! My friend asked me to edit a document I made and make it fillable. Told her I didn't have the resource as she does have Adobe. Left her a reminder and as soon as I did this video came out! Thank you! :)
I've been searching in the internet how I could design editable pdf, and this video couldn't have come at the perfect time. This is amazing. For this you deserve every sub and share
Thanks for saving the day! I was dreading the thought of having to purchase Adobe in order to make fillable pdfs. Thanks so much for introducing me to PDFescape!
Thank you for sharing - this is so helpful! Just a note - PDFescape only allows you to use for free up to a certain file size. My multiple page workbook didn't quality, but I'll definitely be using this for smaller PDF projects!
That was really helpful Jason - thankyou so much. I have done as you demonstrated - but when I save and look at my PDF the font is huge - I don't know why and I don't know how to change it - are you able to suggest how I might fix this? Thank you in advance - Sue
This is great - thanks for the tutorial! How do you apply this to a PDF planner that's over 200 pages? Adding fields for a single PDF is fine, but having to apply them to ALL the pages you designed in Canva is excessive. Is there a work-around for that?
Hi thanks for this it was really useful. I've gotten to a stage where I've created lots of worksheets and workbooks on Canva but they're not interactive/ fillable. I'd like to turn them into digital sellable products but I'm so confused with how. If I were to use Escape does that mean I'd be asking my potential clients to download the app for themselves in order for them to access it? Or is it fillable automatically once they open it? Some of my potential products are large files so do you advise any other options too? I really want to be clear what the ask is to the clients that buy and access the product. Are they simply downloading or needing to sign up to something first in order to access it? Thanks so much.
They don't have to download the app to use the PDF. It will be fillable when they open their version. Once you export the PDF from Escape that's the file you will share with customers. They can download and use it at that point
This has been very useful. I'm such a beginner and determined to learn For myself as in theory this is all very easy. For me, not so. Weeks, hours, trying with free products and I use a chromebook. Anyway my question is can this method only be done if you have a website?
It can take a while to get the hang of all of these tools and options... You can use Canva without having your own website, but it's not a website builder. So you can do everything in this video even if you don't have a website yet!
Thank you so much for this video!! I have a large client project to do and this is going to cut my time by so much!! I was going to do all of this in InDesign & Acrobat, but this is sooooooo much easier!! I'm so glad I found this video!! THANK YOU!!!!!
If you want to make a table of contents inside of your PDF, you'll need to use another tool like PDF escape to do that. Canva itself doesn't allow for links like that to be created; so do it in PDF Escape
This was a great video I’m glad I found this question though can I embed the pdf on my site and still have it editable on site or will it open a new window or make them download to complete form ?
So, when you use the tool to make it editable, viewers have to download the file to make their own changes.... Hope that answers your question; thanks for watching
No. You can't have people upload files to a PDF file. They can add their own images using their own PDF editor but it's not something that can be automated through PDF Escape
Thanks for this. How can I share the link with my client so they can change the text whenever they want? Does pdf escape do this too? Or it's only for fillable pdf. What about editable text ?
PDF escape only makes it editable. You'll need to download the file and then upload it to something like Google drive and share it that way... Hope that answers your question
The 'Blue' tells the viewer it's a field that can be edited and I think it shows up in blue in most PDF programs your readers would be using. Sorry I don't know of a way to customize that color
If you want someone to be submitting information to you then using something like Google Forms may make more sense. Everything that's filled out on the PDF is only saved in that persons version. It's not possible to have a button that sends it to you when they are done
Hi Jason! Thanks for the great tutorial! When it comes to how the person you share this will will type- I do see there are some fonts listed- is there a way to use my own fonts? Or another site you suggest to accomplish this?
Strange. That's not something I've had an issue with before so I don't know.... If it's not showing up in your final export then you probably need to start over.... part of the downsides of using free tools like this at times
@@JasonAWhaling Man you help a lot but I have one big problem! When I try to download my project I only see PNG and JPG formats. I was working on this for days. Why I can't download my project in PDF format? :(
Make sure that all of your text and pictures are exactly where you want them. Once you export it and start using PDF escape you can't make changes to the PDF content. So be sure it's all perfect and good to go!
Hello ! It's a very usefull tutorial ! Thanks ! Does it work on a phone ? I have made checkboxes on a pdf and I can't reach using it on my phone... Do you know what I can do ? Thanks a lot !!!
GREAT videos! You give CLEAR ABC...123 instructions for BEGINNERS I NEED THAT! My question I'm doing a 28 day devotional EBOOK BUT I would like to have a matching journal. How can this be done without the hassle of printing so my people can journal... is there a format where a person can TYPE inside a journal instead of writing? If that makes sense lol thanks for your feedback!
Thank you 🙏 I don't think it's possible if I'm understanding you correctly. The best you can do is have a blank lined page for them to journal and/or make the journal a separate file from the Ebook.
Not to my knowledge. I'm pretty sure it's just text that can be added to a PDF in this manner. If someone had the right PDF editor they could add images on their own; but they'd have to have the software and know how to do it
Very helpful - thanks for doing this tutorial! But your doc on the video doesn't open up in Adobe PDF. My saved Canva doc opens in the annoying Adobe frame?
@@JasonAWhaling thanks for responding legend! Sorry I meant in the body of the pdf created I have an email in the text and thought I may be able to insert a link over it? Like websites I did that ok. Just just not sure about emails so they can respond with a sn easy link
You can link to the video in your PDF, but you can't embed a video into a PDF file... So you'd want to show a thumbnail of the video, and then have it hyperlinked to the video (on TH-cam or shared via google drive)
Hi there Jason, hope that you're doing well, I've been tying to do something for awhile regarding clickable stuff through pdf files, And I'm finally finishing up building my business profile, & I need to know how to insert a clickable icon that transforms the pdf from one language to another, for i.e. ==> from (ENG) to (Arabic), & the app that I'm using is canva pro, If you can help out with this issue... I'll really appreciate it, thanks.
Hello and thank u for the tutorial... how can I insert a video in my pdf , so when someone downloads it, the video can be playable in the pdf without the need of linking somewhere else ? Thank u
Nice surprise for sure! I feel silly for not doing a video on it sooner 😅...Happy to see your still watching. Hope your staying safe and healthily if your still where I think you are.
Thank you so much for posting this video, it was so useful and timely! I'm so excited now to create my fillable documents, whereas I was so apprehensive I would need to spend money on software to get them done!
I made a notebook /journal with my own text and added art, I transferred the pdf and the book cover does not fit the measurements, after uploaded to a different website. the top of book cover has white space. could you direct me on how to fix this empty white space at the top ? .....thank you
Sorry I don't know what the issue would be. If the PDF file is fine once downloaded I don't know why it would get messed up being uploaded someplace else
Thank you for the video! But there's a problem to edit the document in mobile devices (it's possible only when you download it and move it to Drive). How can I solve this?
Hi, This was really helpful, however I am wondering how this can be achieved within Canva? Can you add it back to Canva? I want the students to be able to work within the Canva platform but be able to use tick boxes and paragraph text fields. Thanks Lauren
Useful video, thank you! I have one question though. If I am using this for a business card, the blue-grey background of the text fields will not be visible if printed, right?
Awesome to hear! Anything that you can see in Canva, will be visible on your business card. A way to know what it would look like is to download your design as a PNG. That file will be a representation of what you're printed cards would look like.
Really helpful video, thanks a lot! I actually did create a checklist using Canva & PDFescape, then I created an URL link at Google drive to send by email to users that requested my eBook and works really well when the link is downloaded in the computer, however when they open the link by iPhone, it's not possible to use the "Clickable" fields. Do you know if there is another tip to make it work on iPhone too?
Way to take action and get all of that done! Being able to edit the PDF also has a lot to do with the application people are using to view it. If the preview doesn't allow/able to read the editable fields they may not work properly.... So it's not that your PDF is broken, it's just the software some people are using.
@@JasonAWhaling Thanks so much for the quick response. Then I will let them know that depending on the application they are using they won't be able to edit. Cheers!
I got the same issue. It works perfectly on my Mac but not on my Android phone. I tried so many apps but still not working. Many people are using phones... Did you find a solution for that @Elis?
Thanks so much for the information! Just have a quick question. When I have downloaded my fillable PDF from PDF Escape I am able to fill in the form, but for some reason when I try to save it, the new typed information does not save(it's just a new copy of the blank fillable form). Is there a way that the fillable form can be saved with the new text and then be opened and edited again at a later date? Hopefully that makes sense! Thanks :)
If you're having an issue saving the information, it's the PDF editor you're using. You can use something like Foxit PDF for free and save your PDF with whatever you've filled in.
That sounds like the application being used on your phone. Some applications don't recognize the felids, so as long as it's working on your laptop the file is good to go
PDFescape requires one of the monthly paid options to add a field now, though it does have a free trial option, so you could do it as a bit of a one-off. If anyone finds another software option, post away!
To may knowledge that isn't possible. If you want to just host what you already have and share it, then using Google drive and a public share link is a quick way to do it
Hi, I am creating colouring pages with Canva in a PDF format. Is there any way for people to download and color on the PDF file instead of printing it?
That's more dependent upon the program they use to Open that PDF than formatting in Canva.... So you'd need to look for a program that allows for that functionality when opening a PDF file.
Didnt know u could even get Canva on ur computer, I should have been doing this from day 1! I've hated using mobile for canva, i type so much faster and easier on computer!
Does Canva charge the customer an extra fee when they download and use a Canva file that I created in Canva (with a Pro account) when they buy a digital download in Etsy?
NO! Do not use this for Kindle. Your best bet is to write out your book in plan text or html format in a word doc, paste the pictures from Canva in that document and then convert it to the kindle format
Yes. You can hyperlink text in your emails to go to your PDF. Just upload your PDF to Google drive, create a share link, and then paste that link into your email
@@JasonAWhalingthanks for the reply yet, thats not quite what im asking. Is it possible to create a submit button inside of the pdf? When clients are finished filling the pdf , by clicking submit, it sends those answers to my email.
@@JasonAWhaling Do you have video showing us how to do this? As a wedding photographer I would love for my clients to fill out a questionnaire… then click a “send” button at the bottom of the questionnaire to email back to me :)
I tried when I then exported final fillable pdf from pdf escape it wouldn't print! So frustrating...is there another software besides pdfescape you could recommend
☹ Ouch! The good news is you want to print the pdf you can just use the version exported from Canva since you only need the second tool for digital versions.... sorry I can't be much help beyond that
@@JasonAWhaling No worries - I appreciate your reply. I have the question in with pdfescape (as I have another issue) hoping it works out. Great Video nonetheless, thank you!
What PDF are you going to create with Canva?
A free value offer. I've been using Canva for a couple of years but I like your tutorials b/c you're so thorough! Thanks!
🙏👍 Thanks so much! Really great to know these are valuable

Thanks for the video. When people have added their text, how does it save in the document?
They have to save it locally on their own device
Do you have a video on how to make a Save button and a clear button on PDF?
Thanks
We don't have a video on that. We tell people to save the file themselves

Assuming the font issue is in PDF Escape? When you select the element you can right click to change the settings. Change the font size

This works to get my PDF interactive on a laptop but it’s not working when I want to open the pdf on my phone, can to advise?
That sounds like the application being used on your phone. Some applications don't recognize the felids, so as long as it's working on your laptop the file is good to go
Great work done
Thank you! Hope this helps with your own PDF creations!
PDFescape requires one of the monthly paid options to add a field now, though it does have a free trial option, so you could do it as a bit of a one-off. If anyone finds another software option, post away!
You can still use the free version to do what was shown in the video. If you want to be able to save your work, that's when they charge you
i cannot edit my checklist after sending the pdf to my phone. only the link is clickable nothing else, why so?
That has to do with the software being used on your phone, not the PDF. Some viewers won't pick up on those features
So awesome! Thanks for saving me the headache of Acrobat - I have a pro subscript but it's still such a pain to use! This is super easy!
No problem! It's a lot easier to used than than some paid solutions I've used as well. Happy PDF creation!
Great video. Thank you for sharing this information. It was easy to follow along and it will definitely help me in my business.
Awesome to hear! Glad it was easy to follow and hope you have some new pdf ideas for your business
What if you've already made your pdf documents but you want to host them on canva . Can i upload my already made pdfs? Example : coloring pages
To may knowledge that isn't possible. If you want to just host what you already have and share it, then using Google drive and a public share link is a quick way to do it
Jason, It's changing the color on my PDF when I add a text box. How do I fix that?
The green that shows up in the second tool is just showing you where the inputs will be. It's not actually changing your PDF colors. 👍
Hi, I am creating colouring pages with Canva in a PDF format. Is there any way for people to download and color on the PDF file instead of printing it?
That's more dependent upon the program they use to Open that PDF than formatting in Canva.... So you'd need to look for a program that allows for that functionality when opening a PDF file.
So brilliant! Thanks, Jason!
🎨 Super cool right! Hope this gave you some new ideas for your own pdf's👍
Didnt know u could even get Canva on ur computer, I should have been doing this from day 1! I've hated using mobile for canva, i type so much faster and easier on computer!
Yeah, the web app is so much better! Hope this helps speed up your designing!
Does Canva charge the customer an extra fee when they download and use a Canva file that I created in Canva (with a Pro account) when they buy a digital download in Etsy?
Probably. Your license only covers your designs and what you download - not other accounts
This was perfect. Thank you!
👍Awesome, thanks!
Will this be readable by Kindle Create? Thank you
NO! Do not use this for Kindle. Your best bet is to write out your book in plan text or html format in a word doc, paste the pictures from Canva in that document and then convert it to the kindle format
How about if a pdf file has 80 pages? Can you suggest a free app that caters to this?
Wow, no. At that length you'll want a paid solution so you can save your work
Good video
Thanks! Have fun creating your PDF's 🎨
I wasnt able to click and drag pdf. needed an upgrade :(
Everything shown in the video is using the free versions of both software... Please make a new comment with the issue so I can help
Thank you 👍
Thanks for watching. Have fun with your PDF's!
Can I make a clickable button that link to my email? Id like my clients to fill it out & submit it back to me. 😁
Yes. You can hyperlink text in your emails to go to your PDF. Just upload your PDF to Google drive, create a share link, and then paste that link into your email
@@JasonAWhalingthanks for the reply yet, thats not quite what im asking. Is it possible to create a submit button inside of the pdf? When clients are finished filling the pdf , by clicking submit, it sends those answers to my email.
@@SincerelyYona would love to know this as well!
@@JasonAWhaling Do you have video showing us how to do this? As a wedding photographer I would love for my clients to fill out a questionnaire… then click a “send” button at the bottom of the questionnaire to email back to me :)
I tried when I then exported final fillable pdf from pdf escape it wouldn't print! So frustrating...is there another software besides pdfescape you could recommend
☹ Ouch! The good news is you want to print the pdf you can just use the version exported from Canva since you only need the second tool for digital versions.... sorry I can't be much help beyond that
@@JasonAWhaling No worries - I appreciate your reply. I have the question in with pdfescape (as I have another issue) hoping it works out. Great Video nonetheless, thank you!
Editable and Clickable, done. However, what I'd really like to see, is Canva make fillable PDFs possible.
I can't make my PDFs save when I write in it before I use PDFescape, did you know why?
I'm not sure why it's not saving ☹
