In this tutorial, Arit from Essentino Media demonstrates how to create a fillable PDF from a Word document, worksheet, or handout. The first step is to prepare the document by adding spaces for writing or check boxes. Next, save the document as a PDF by going to file > save as. Arit mentions using the save as feature instead of docHub PDF to avoid glitches. Save the PDF to the desktop or another location of choice.
