In the older versions of PDFelement, you could just run through a document with the general form editing tools, adding the desired fields:īut with PDFelement 6, a new feature was introduced that scans a document for you, detects where there a static text elements eligible to be an interactive component, highlights those, and then allows you to double-click the field to enable it as interactive and make any updates to its properties.įor instance, take the opening paragraph of an agreement we have used for Freelance writers:īack in the day, we whipped up the doc in Word and converted it to PDF so that the contents weren’t easily manipulated. Essentially, the tool allows you to easily take any existing document with only static ‘form’ fields–a non-interactive PDF or a standard Word Doc for example–and convert it into a fillable form with any standard field types text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc. Perhaps the most useful enhancements within the PDFelement 6 release are the fast and intuitive options for form editing, and more specifically, form conversion and creation. Turning Any Document Into a Fillable Form We checked that out as well, and between the refreshed UX and some key functional enhancements, we thought we should pass along the highlights-you just may want to give the free trial a whirl for yourself. Just recently though the Wondershare team stepped up its game and launched PDFelement 6, an updated version of their already pretty powerful tool. One tool we have covered before is Wondershare’s PDFelement-we tried it out first hand, and for creating, editing, annotating and even securing PDFs we loved it. It’s probably best you equip yourself with some tools that make those kinds of exercises much easier. PDFs, Word Docs, Powerpoints, Spreadsheets and all the other fine formats to which we have become accustomed (and by, “accustomed”, we mean “really really dependent”) are going to be around for a while, and for a while they’re going to require you to both add and extract critical information. One thing that we’re probably never getting rid of, however, is documents. With advances in cosmetics, we’re slowly ridding ourselves of wrinkles with innovation in software, more and more of us are passing on printed paper and with the gradual legalization of marijuana, we are facing an increasing risk of an ice cream shortage.
