Digital and remote classes make physical papers difficult to distribute and collect. Environmental concerns have led to reducing the use of paper as well as plastic pens, binders, and other materials needed to organize paper handouts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding the right digital alternative to physical paper is no easy task. Not every student will have access to the same document editing software. Documents that you, the teacher, create may lose their formatting settings when opened by a student.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why PDFs are so useful. The <a href=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/other\/what-are-pdfs-used-for\/\">portable document format<\/a>, or PDF, is easy to create and will look the same no matter who opens it on any device. PDFs are the best format to distribute syllabi, study guides, and even worksheets that students can fill out. This allows any student to do their homework entirely on their computer rather than writing on paper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019re going to cover how you can work with PDFs using PDF.Live\u2019s online PDF editor tool. The editor tool allows you to make alterations to the settings and format of a PDF.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make an Editable PDF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you make a PDF editable, you may be wondering <a href=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/pdf-basics\/make-a-pdf\/\">how you can make a PDF in the first place<\/a>? The document editing software you already use has this capability. How do we know this?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, if you\u2019ve built a worksheet or syllabus in a doc editor, you\u2019ve probably printed it. When printing, you\u2019ll usually select your printer in the <strong>Destination<\/strong> section. Then, if you click the dropdown next to it, you\u2019ll see <strong>Save as PDF<\/strong> as an option. Your experience may differ, depending on your operating system (iOS vs Windows, for example), but generally, most software programs allow you to save as PDF from the printing functions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"376\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/class1-1.jpg\" alt=\"screenshot of printing to pdf \" class=\"wp-image-2599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/class1-1.jpg 376w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/class1-1-300x281.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This will save your document as a PDF file instead of printing a physical copy. If you simply want to distribute a worksheet that your students will then print and fill out, emailing or uploading a PDF is by far the best option. This will ensure every student can print out the same version of the worksheet with no changes in formatting settings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you create a Microsoft Word Document and upload the file as, say, a .doc or .docx file, there\u2019s a good chance the page\u2019s margins and lines will be altered. This can lead to students being confused about where one question begins and another ends, or having enough space to fill out the answer for a question.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you want your students to work with the document in an entirely digital format, we have a solution for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Form Field Recognition&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What is form field recognition? This term is the name of a tool contained within the PDF.Live editor that will find fields within a PDF that are intended to be filled out by the person using the document. It will add a fillable form field to the line so that text can be typed within the PDF. In this example, every slightly shaded in box above an empty line is a fillable field:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"837\" height=\"868\" src=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/class6-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2601\" style=\"width:720px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/class6-1.jpg 837w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/class6-1-289x300.jpg 289w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/class6-1-768x796.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.fdic.gov\/catalog\/s\/productdetail?selProductId=01tt0000000hE0JAAU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FDIC \u201cSmart Money Instructor Guide\u201d for classrooms<\/a>.)<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>So how do you access the form field recognition tool?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/convert-pdf-into-editable-pdf\">Upload your PDF to our online editor<\/a> selecting the <strong>Edit PDF<\/strong> option in the PDF.Live Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"227\" src=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image8-1024x227.png\" alt=\"Image showing pdf live studio's dashboard and edit pdf selected from the menu of options. \" class=\"wp-image-8170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image8-1024x227.png 1024w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image8-300x66.png 300w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image8-768x170.png 768w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image8-1536x340.png 1536w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image8-1568x348.png 1568w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image8.png 1579w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve selected this option, either upload a PDF from your computer or select a PDF already uploaded to the editor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"767\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image3.png\" alt=\"Image showing pdf live's editing tool with 1 document selected and the continue button highlighted.\" class=\"wp-image-8172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image3.png 767w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image3-300x183.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve done this, select <strong>Continue<\/strong>.\u00a0In the PDF.Live editor toolbar, navigate to <strong>Form Fill <\/strong>tab and select <strong>Insert Text Field<\/strong> within the <strong>Form<\/strong> tab of the toolbar.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"143\" src=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image4-1024x143.png\" alt=\"Image showing the pdf live studio's editing tool and the form bill option selected from the menu.\" class=\"wp-image-8173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image4-1024x143.png 1024w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image4-300x42.png 300w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image4-768x107.png 768w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image4.png 1476w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With this tool selected, you can now create text fields in the PDF that someone can fill out!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image1-1024x535.png\" alt=\"Image showing and example of an editable form for a job application with the personal information field selected and John Smith entered in the full name field.\" class=\"wp-image-8174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image1-1024x535.png 1024w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image1-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image1-768x401.png 768w, https:\/\/pdf.live\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image1.png 1028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a new field, click and drag anywhere on your PDF.

We\u2019ve filled in a couple of fields with text. Once all text has been filled in, when downloading the PDF, the owner will be prompted to download a new version of the PDF with changes. The \u201cchanges\u201d represent the text that\u2019s been typed out into the fillable forms within the PDF.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using this tool, you can send out worksheets to your students, have them fill them out, and send them back without any PDF editors or physical paper needed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This quick tutorial shows how teachers can use PDFLive to
