Make Fillable PDFs with Canva & DocHub

 


One of my teacher friends asked how to make a PDF designed with Canva into a fillable PDF.  This request sparked new learning.  I had never made a fillable PDF before.  Fillable PDFs may not be very Chromebook friendly, but this is still pretty cool.  I love learning something new!

Here's how to turn a design created in Canva into a fillable PDF:
  • Download the design from Canva as a standard PDF.
  • Upload this PDF to DocHub and click the create document button.
  • Click the manage fields button on the toolbar in DocHub.
  • Add text, paragraph, and/or checkbox fields to your document.
  • Download a PDF from DocHub.  This is the PDF that will be fillable.
