In this video tutorial, Arit from Essentino Media teaches how to create fillable PDF documents from Word files. The first step is to prepare the spaces for writing or check boxes in the Word document. Next, save the Word file as a PDF by going to File, Save As, and choosing PDF. Arit recommends using the Save As feature instead of DocHub PDF to avoid potential glitches. This process allows for creating interactive and professional-looking worksheets or handouts.
