A fillable PDF, also known as an interactive PDF, is a digital document that allows users to enter data into predefined fields without having to print and physically fill it out. These documents are a popular choice for forms, surveys, and applications that need to be completed electronically.
Creating fillable PDFs offers numerous benefits. They streamline workflows, eliminate the need for manual data entry, reduce errors, and improve efficiency. One significant historical development was the introduction of the PDF format in 1993 by Adobe Systems, which laid the foundation for the creation and manipulation of interactive PDFs.
