You can convert an existing form into an Adobe Acrobat Sign form or easily drag-and-drop Acrobat Sign fields onto a PDF. You can send the form out to be filled in and signed using Acrobat Sign.

2. Choose Tools > Prepare Form.
3. Click Start.

5. In the right pane, click More and then choose Convert To Acrobat Sign Form.
6. When alerted that Acrobat removes form fields that Acrobat Sign doesn't support, click Next, and then in the subsequent alert, click OK.
