How to Make PDF editable in Preview

Skyler recommends using Google Documents as the simplest free solution for creating fillable forms on Mac, as DocHub has the market cornered. While you can use Microsoft Word or Excel manually, it would take a lot of time. Preview can annotate PDFs but cannot create forms. By creating a Google Documents account, now called Drive, users can easily create forms, choose themes, and email the form directly to recipients with various options available.
