After watching SEVERAL videos on how to create fillable forms, they all completely changed the format of my Canva PDFs. Beyond frustrating. This video showed me how to EASILY keep my beautiful PDF and make it fillable in half the time! AMAZING!! SO HELPFUL!!
You are a ROCKSTAR for persevering through all those frustrating tutorials! Canva PDFs and fillable forms can be a tricky dance, but I'm so happy this video helped you keep your beautiful designs AND make them interactive - that's seriously impressive! Half the time? Now that's what I call productivity magic. Seriously, you're going to be a fillable form whiz in no time. Where are you planning to showcase these amazing printables you've created? Think Etsy shop, your own website, or maybe a killer social media campaign? I can't wait to see what you do with them!
OHHHMYYYGOSH! WHAT IS HAPPENING 😅😂!?!?! I have never in all my time watch the tutorial and in just a couple of minutes felt like I got it! This was the easiest tutorial I've ever seen that involved Canva! Literally you are an angel! Now I just have to figure out how to go back and add more boxes 😅. I definitely subscribed thank you!🎉
WOOHOO! Canva champion in the making! Adding boxes is a breeze, and I'm so glad you subscribed! No need to stress about those boxes! Adding more boxes to your design is just as easy as the amazing tutorial you just watched. 😅 Now go forth and create something box-tastic! Thank you so much for your time as well!!
This video was great! Goes through the entire process from beginning to end! This will really help me make forms in my dietitian private practice business. THANK YOU!
You are absolutely GOLDEN for not giving up for months! Creating fillable forms in Canva can definitely feel like a mystery sometimes, so I'm thrilled this video finally cracked the code for you. THANK YOU!
I love this. There are some tutorials recommended using PDFescape but it requires a subscription, after downloading the fillable file and canceling subs, the fillable file disappeared. You're a live saver
Thanks for the video! Can you tell me if there is a tool in either Canva or DocHub that will allow me to change the text style that appears in the fillable boxes?
I think you can change it in Dochub when you're setting up all the fillable boxes but once you've saved it as pdf, you won't be able to change it in the pdf.
I'm no expert but I'm so glad it was helpful! 🎉 Consider it a high five from the Canva knowledge universe! Now go forth and create those amazing fillable PDFs with your newfound power! 🦸♀️
There are other ways of making a pdf file fillable. You can use Acrobat or you can design everything in Indesign and make it fillable from there. Bulk method , not that I know of. Since you have to decide which elements are going to be fillable, you have to do it per page. :) I could be wrong. There may be some applications that can detect text boxes or checkboxes already that I don't know yet. :) Please let me know if you found one. :)
Thanks! Saw a bunch of videos before this about pdf escape but they no longer have the feature where you can add paragraph text (just a line of text) and this wasn't going to work for me. I knew there had to be another option. Thanks for sharing!
Hey! That's fantastic to hear! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and found it easy to follow. Making things clear and actionable is really important to me, so your feedback absolutely makes my day. If you have any other questions or requests, don't hesitate to ask! And hey, thanks for watching! :)
I thought this was great, thank you. The one issue I had was with the page breaks, and controlling where the Document breaks when I downloaded to Doc Hub. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks
You're welcome. No, fillable PDFs won't work directly with KDP downloadable digital products/ebooks. KDP focuses on fixed-layout eBooks: Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is designed for publishing eBooks with a fixed layout. This means the text and formatting stay consistent across different devices. Fillable PDFs are interactive and allow users to input data, which isn't compatible with KDP's fixed-layout format.owever, there are alternative solutions for your fillable PDFs. Consider other platforms. Look into marketplaces like Etsy, Creative Market/Fabrica, or your own website where you can sell fillable PDFs directly. These platforms often cater to downloadable digital products with interactive elements. 😃
oh no..have you tried sending it to yourself? Not sure why it wouldn't open. Try sending it to yourself, open it and see what happens. And try opening it using different apps or softwares (Preview, Acrobat, etc). :)
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience on "How to make a Canva PDF Fillable/Editable PDF". I subscribed to your channel for more leaning.

I have a multi page planner with a lot of lines, so would I have do the fillable one by one for all the pages or I do it on one page and it changes on the other pages?
Hi, thank you so much for your very helpful video! Question, what if I have multiple pdf pages but some of them doesn't need to be fillable, do I need a paid plan for dochub for me to be able to upload that file with multiple pages?
Question- Does this site host/provide a direct URL to the fillable you created? I’m not sure how that works at all. I’m changing my salon booking software and their forms are the only feature I found to be severely lacking. But they do have the option of pasting a URL that will be embedded in an appointment confirmation email that also serves as a form-fill prompt…like I said this is not my forté at all and first thought I had is that I’m probably going to have to use a form site to host my forms which means there’s probably monthly fees in there somewhere😅 I’m lost. If you can help, that’s great. Or if someone has done this before and could possibly point me in the right direction? This video itself was incredibly helpful as well- thanks jet!
Thank you and you're welcome, Karin. :) I am not sure if it provides a url however, you can use Google Forms for what you need, I think. Try it out: www.google.com/forms/about/
@@travelingdesigner omg you’re right, I didn’t even think about that…wow. Have followed others GForms links several times but not sure why I never thought of it myself. Been a long year lol thanks Jet ❤️Kari
:) You're welcome, Kari. Glad it works for you already. :) A year is okay. We live to learn every single day! :) Cheers and let me know if you encounter any problems. :)
I gather I have to buy pro version to do this? As soon as I uploaded my file, I could not see the menu bar at top that you showed or manage field. Am I missing something?
BEST VIDEO! BUT if i am trying to add a Signature for my client to sign but its not working.. i send to myself after is done and the Signature field dont let the person sign through cellphone fingers..
I would like to have a link that would just pull up the docs/forms for a client to fill out and submit. Right now I have a link titled FORMS that clients click to my google doc forms but some clients have a problem signing into google in order to access the forms.@@travelingdesigner
Hi there! Just wondering how to flatten the other elements on Canva (without flattening the part that will be fillable). I combine resources on Adobe and password encrypt. After that, I can't edit. Would love to know how!
Hi!! Understanding that you want to flatten elements in Canva while keeping the fillable part intact can be tricky. Unfortunately, Canva doesn't have a direct 'flatten' option like some other design software. However, here are a few workarounds you might find helpful: Grouping elements: Combining the elements you want to flatten into a group can help lock them together. Creating a background: Placing a solid color or image behind the elements you want to flatten can give the appearance of flattening. Duplicating the page: If you're comfortable with it, you can duplicate the page, flatten one version, and keep the other editable.
@@travelingdesigner Thank you! How exactly do I combine the elements to flatten? Clicking "Ctrl" doesn't allow me to hold and select multiple text boxes, and if I click and drag to select, I have to select all.
You just earned me $100
Got 2 clients who need this right away
Yay! Congratulations!! So happy for you. :) Keep it going! :)

I have noticed that its not fillable by phone ( android ). any help with that ?

Thanks for the comment. Did you mean the fillable pdf that you've downloaded from dochub is not working properly upon opening on your phone? :)
I have a multi page planner with a lot of lines, so would I have do the fillable one by one for all the pages or I do it on one page and it changes on the other pages?
You have to do it per page. It doesn't carry on to the other pages. :)

Hi, thank you so much for your very helpful video! Question, what if I have multiple pdf pages but some of them doesn't need to be fillable, do I need a paid plan for dochub for me to be able to upload that file with multiple pages?
There is definitely a limit to the number of pages that you can upload on a free account with dochub. Please check this out: dochub.com/pricing.
