Creating Editable PDFs
Editable PDFs for most buyers on TPT mean that they can change certain text on the PDF they buy. The best way you can enable this for your buyers is to create Form Fields for them in PDF. Form fields allow the user to change the text to anything they want. This also means that the buyer does not need any special software to change the text (like Adobe Acrobat Pro), but most PDF reader .
To create form fields with Flat Pack:
- Insert a text box
- Choose a font size, and alignment (left, center, right)
- Click on Convert To Form Field
- Create PDF
Once the PDF is generated (note changes allowed need to be form filling allowed in preferences), you will see a form field in place of the text box. You can now customise the form field further by entering the text you would like it to have displayed. The form fields are automatically set to be rich, meaning you can copy any existing font and paste it into the form field and it will take on the font style, size and font name of the text you are pasting in.
Once you save the PDF now, you are ready to sell it on TPT as an editable PDF.
