Why can't I write in my form?

If you can't type into the fields on your form, the PDF most likely isn't a true fillable form — a specific PDF type created in third-party apps that transforms a static document into one with editable text fields.

If Scriptation isn't recognizing form fields:

Confirm Scriptation is up to date. Open the App Store and make sure you're on the latest version.
Confirm the PDF was created as a fillable form. Use a fillable-PDF tool like Adobe Acrobat to create the form. You can annotate any PDF within Scriptation, but a static PDF can't be made fillable from inside Scriptation — the fields have to exist when the PDF is imported.

✅ TIP: A fillable form's font, font size, and alignment cannot be changed within Scriptation. Adjust those in the form creator app.
