This post will show you how to convert a PDF document to a fillable form in LibreOffice. A PDF can be used as a file to create a form with blank fields like text areas.

Open a new OpenOffice Writer document and click "View." Click "Toolbars" followed by "Form controls" to reveal the Form Controls toolbar. This toolbar contains controls you'll use to create your form.

To create the form in Base, click "Forms," and then select "Create Form in Design View." For creating the form in another document, such as Writer, open that document.
