Adding input boxes in PDF without using external apps

Hi,
I need to add input text box to PDF and send that PDF to mail, so that the other person can enter the data in input box. This operation must be done by writing the code in the instance but not by using external applicaitons. Any information on this will be helpful for me.

Thanks,
Bharath Kumar Thota

Hi Bharath,

Greetings!

I haven't tried this but I would like to try by using the visualforce email template in which you can invoke the Visualforce component to add the input field and send the email by attaching the PDF as well.

Please refer the below blog for the sample code:

I am providing an another document which can help you send the Visualforce page as PDF if you feel like that is helpful for you to achieve your requirement.

Kindly let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as best answer so that it can help others in the future.

Warm Regards,
Shirisha Pathuri

Hi Shirisha,
Thank you so much for the reply. My criteria doesn't match with the links you have provided. First step is to edit the PDF and add any input box or checkbox anything like that. Next is to send the PDF as link so when the user receives the mail, he/she will open the link which will open the PDF and add the data in input box or which ever we provide (My criteria is similar to Digital Signature concept). So can you help me with this scenario.

Thanks,
Bharath Kumar Thota
