envelope. I'll click on the "Add Documents" button, and then I can either drag and drop the PDF file into the designated area or click on the "Upload" button to select the file from my computer. Once the file is uploaded, it will appear in the envelope. Next, I need to make the PDF interactive by adding signature boxes, text boxes, and other elements. To do this, I'll click on the "Edit" button next to the uploaded file. This will open the PDF editor, where I can make the necessary changes. To add a signature box, I'll click on the "Signature" button in the toolbar on the left side of the editor. I can then click on the location where I want the signature box to appear, and it will automatically be added. I can resize and reposition the signature box as needed. For text boxes, I'll click on the "Text" button in the toolbar. Again, I'll click on the desired location in the document, and a text box will be inserted. I can type in the necessary information or instructions within the text box. In addition to signature boxes and text boxes, I can also add other interactive elements such as checkboxes, radio buttons, and dropdown menus. These can be used for selection options or to gather specific information. Once all the necessary elements are added, I can save the changes and send the interactive PDF to the other party. They will be able to fill in the required information, sign the document, and submit it back to me. By making PDFs interactive in docHub, it becomes easier and more efficient to collaborate and exchange documents with other agents. This feature eliminates the need for printing, scanning, and mailing physical copies, saving time and resources. It also ensures that all parties have access to the same updated version of the document, reducing any confusion or discrepancies.
