hi Im Skyler docHub professional has the market cornered when it comes to creating fillable forms on the Mac you could also use Microsoft Word and Excel in order to do it kind of manually but it would take you quite a bit of time theres no straightforward simple solution while you can use preview for annotating pdfs and even completing a form cant procreate create one so how are you going to get around it well I recommend the simplest free solution you could possibly want which is Google Documents if you create a Google Documents account which is actually Drive now and then go to create and click form here we go now you can create a form very very easily you can also choose themes and then you can email the form directly to people to provide a link etc you can also if you live there a lot of different great options thanks for watching Im Skyler
