# Create fillable PDF forms in SharePoint

Muhimbi’s [PDF Editor for SharePoint](https://www.nutrient.io/low-code/try) lets you create a PDF form directly in SharePoint Online and on-premises. Launch the PDF Form Creator tool to start adding text fields, radio buttons, checkboxes, and signature fields to your document. Customize the fonts, border style, background color, and more.

## Step 1: Opening a PDF file![Open PDFs in SharePoint](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-editor/sharepoint/open-pdf-in-sharepoint.png)

Go to the SharePoint library and click **Upload** to import a PDF from your computer, or select an existing PDF from the library.

Click **Open** from the dropdown menu and choose **Open in PSPDFKit Editor**.

## Step 2: Creating form fields![Create form fields](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-editor/sharepoint/create-pdf-form.png)

To the right of the **Sign** button, access the **Form Creator** from the dropdown menu.

In the top-left corner, you'll see a range of options to choose from. You can create:

- Button widgets

- Text widgets

- Radio widgets

- Checkbox widgets

- Combo box widgets

- List box widgets

- Signature widgets

- Date widgets

Once you choose a widget — for example, a combo box — it'll be shown in the document. You can resize it or move it to a different place in the document. The process is the same for all widgets.

## Step 3: Customizing form fields

After you decide on the widget's position and size, go through the options shown in the small pop-up window.![Advanced form properties](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-editor/sharepoint/advanced-form-properties.png)

All widgets have advanced options that allow you to mark a field as required, to enter the creator name and note, or to make the field read-only or a multi-select option.![Text field properties](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-editor/sharepoint/text-field-properties.png)

All widgets also have field style and text style settings that you can use to change the color of the fields, opacity, text font type, size, color, and more.![Form field properties](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-editor/sharepoint/form-field-properties.png)

There are some options that are specific to the type of widget:

- In the date widget, you can choose the date format.

- In the list box and combo box widgets, you need to add descriptions for each option.

- In the checkbox and radio button widgets, there are fields for the labels and values.

When you finish creating form fields in your PDF document, click **Save**, or export the document to your computer.
