Export an editable pdf from Apub 2.5?

How do I export a pdf that can be edited in Acrobat from Apub 2.5? Maybe 1 of the pdf presets?

APub doesn't have the ability to create forms with things like text fields and checkboxes, so there's no way to export PDFs that can accept data input in Acrobat.

It would be a nice feature to have — I hope that functionality is added to APub at some point.

Possibly I wasn't clear. I want to export a pdf that I can then go into Acrobat and edit the pdf mostly with comments. No need to edit the pdf in Apub.

That should be possible with any PDF you export from the Affinity applications. They are standard PDF files.

Turns out she was trying to open it with Acrobat Reader, so of course no deal. Small exported pdf opens fine in my Acrobat Pro X v10. Last stand-alone version.

How do I make a pdf in Acrobat pro x so it can be opened and edited, (comments  etc) in Reader?

My partner reminded me that we used to do that for proofreaders who didn’t have Pro.

But I've forgotten how, something about save as extended for Reader, one of 3 options.

I think you need to be asking that in an Adobe forum!  😏
