Interactive and Fillable Form Fields

[Jason]

Would it be possible to have Affinity Publisher 2 able to create Interactive PDF's that can have fillable text fields, drop downs and buttons. For example: a form for clients to fill out. printable and or text input would be great.

This has already been requested for V2 (and many times previously for V1) and Serif are aware that some people have this requirement, e.g.: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/64958-any-plans-for-pdf-form-editing/&do=findComment&comment=337490

See, for example: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/170410-form-fields-and-interactive-pdf-export-would-be-nice/

There’s no need to add duplicated requests; you can simply search the forums and ‘add your voice’ to an existing request as requested by the forum guidelines.

You can do it with serif page plus, that's why I am still using Serif PagePlus 19, I purchased Affinity Publisher but so much was missing from what was in PagePlus I have had to stick to PagePlus and not use Affinity, I hopped that they may have introduced the option to create Interactive PDF's in Affinity 2, but sadly it is not to be, just hope I can continue to use PagePlus, hears hopping a windows update will not break it

Hi StuartMc, how do you do this in PagPlus X9?. I entered "fillable forms" in the Help file and got the answer "No Topics found"

could you tell me how to do it on jr (at) millrind.co.uk.

You can add form fields to a PagePlus page either by invoking the ‘Form Field’ option on the Insert menu or by using the buttons on the Form toolbar. The latter is hidden by default, so you’ll need to begin by making it visible via the ‘Toolbars > Form’ option on the View menu.

Have a play with the options and see whether you can persuade the program to do what you want. If you need further help, please feel free to post a new topic on my independent PagePlus forum to initiate a discussion about creating fillable PDF forms within the program.
