How Do I Make an Interactive PDF in Canva?

Last updated on December 30, 2022 @ 2:50 pm

An interactive PDF is a document that allows the reader to interact with the content. They can be used to create forms, surveys, quizzes, and other types of content that require user input.

While Canva currently does not have a feature that lets you create interactive PDFs, it is a great tool for designing them. Here’s how to make one in Canva:

1. Create a new design in Canva and select the “Form” template.

2. Under the “Design” tab, select a template that you want to use and click on it to add it to your canvas.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Canva, we recommend that you seek help from someone who is before attempting to create an interactive PDF. There are many steps involved in the process and it can be easy to make mistakes that could result in a less-than-ideal final product.

 

3. A form will be inserted into your design. You can then add input fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and other form elements. Once done with your changes, select the “Share” button at the upper-right corner of the page.

4. On the next page, click the “Download” button.

5. Finally, select “PDF” as your file type to download it in PDF format. Once you’ve downloaded the PDF, you can use third-party software to convert the PDF that you designed into an interactive one!

NOTE: There are lots of free third-party software that you can use online to convert your PDF and make it interactive!

Canva is a great tool for creating interactive PDFs because it’s easy to use and has a wide range of features. With just a few clicks, you can upload a PDF and add form elements. Once done, just download it and use third-party software to make it interactive.
