Hello on the form field creation tool on pdfescape there is no text paragraph so I don’t know how to change it just from regular Text

[akontonye]

Thank You Mariah, this was valuable ❤

[ashleemartinelli]

Gosh, this is great! Exactly what I was looking for. One thing--when I go to the pdf escape site, it does not look like yours in this tutorial. Anyone else seeing that issue?

[joulsw]

Great video. Perfect for setting this up. I wanted to know how to make an interactive PDF. Thank you! 🙏

[emmaearthwanderer]

Perfect, thank you. I really like how easily you explain things.

[KelleyByrdsong]

You just gave me a new freebie idea. Thank you!

[askavettech]

Oh man.. SOOO helpful thank you so much!!!

[MarkusBeher]

Thanks for explaining, Mariah, that’s very good, learned a lot of new things. Can I ask what software you recommend to supply the lead magnet with and manage the funnel?

[traceemcbeth]

thank you for this will be working on this today

[mlhoo]

If I have multiple pages of checkboxes like you have, how do I ensure that each page is consistent in alignment and spacing? Overall, great video, I learned a lot! Thanks!

Great video, currently I'm making a digita home inspection checklist so that when clients view a property they can add the address, click attributes of the property Roof Good Okay Bad etc. and then save it down to review later. That being said how would I share the doc with them and they be able to save it down multiple times when viewing properties? I might be overshooting and should just give them paper copies. What do you think?

[ahmedal-siddig]

That was really useful !

Thanks alot

Super helpful video! I'm trying to convert my pdf to word, but the checkboxes and lines are all off. I've tried multiple pdf to word converters, but same thing, plus it shows as a picture instead of table. Any suggestions that doesn't involve recreating the file from scratch? Thanks so much!

Is there a way to send to a team, once the box is checked you are notified??

[debbiemulligan]

Hey, love this. I want to do it for guests to select their choices for wedding menu. So am i right in saying i do all that send the pdf to them they download it make selections and save then resend it to me?

[Unconditionallyloved]

So after your done in PDF escape then what ? How do I download it? How do I use it on my iPad ? Thanks ❤

[nataliethoen]

How do you change the text size in the text box (multi-line) to match the rows in your checklists? The text is super small.

[alanehemberger]

Hi Mariah, If this digital file is offered on Etsy, do the customers receive the actual link or do they get redirected to go back to Canva to fill it out? Thanks so much for sharing and explaining to us all!

[kevinvaca]

Hey Mariah I have another question. So I got the text paragraph thing sorted out thanks to you. 😃 so now I’m trying to add a save button so whenever I use my pdf file and I write something on the text boxes I set up I want to be able to save the file with whatever text I have on those boxes. Is there anything I can add for that? Because I ended up using adobe acrobat and I was able to put those save buttons but they don’t work whenever I upload my finished document where i need them to be.

Has PDF escapes free version removed the text paragraph option? I don’t see it on my screen and can’t seem to find anything but the “single line” option in the box
