Okay today we are going to make a PDF form fillable 508 compliant form from a Word document so here is my word document it's set up pretty well I do know that it's going to need some checkboxes radio buttons right here and that it does not need those lines there so because I've done a few of these forms so I'm going to take those out and just give us some space there so I can put the radio buttons later okay I want to save this as the word document so now it's it's pretty much set up to make it to a PDF so we're going to go to file save as I'm actually just going to put this on a desktop and you gotta make a PDF actually check the options make sure that they are you're getting all your publishing the document you know these are checked okay so here is our PDF looks just like our Word document so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to give it some properties because it has none so the title of this form the subject make sure it says English okay so now we're going to prepare the form if you do not have it this tool over here you can go to tools and scroll down and look to you can find prepare form you can add it to your side there or just open it so the form we're.
Going to use is the one that we had open so it's already highlighted around click start let me show you what just happened so I clicked start and it says that I have to save the changes I just made so save we're saving it yeah we're replacing it so now prepare for ms right up here and we can go through this form and see where it added the form fields for us we're gonna go back up here we do not really need a form field here you can see it's right here you press the Delete key and it goes away again we don't need that form field you can either click on it right here and press Delete or you can highlight it right here and press Delete okay now we actually do need these form fields so this one is your name type your name I'm pregnant it's awful small so what we're gonna do is we're gonna make it a little bit bigger and then we're gonna move it over so you can read type or print this one is a signature this one is a date so we actually want to make it so it's a drop-down box just to put the baby on so we're going to right click go to properties going to go to format our format is going to be date then we're going to pick the date how we want it to go in there this is.
