released as Worksheet templates. Its not possible to create them fillable online - but they can be printed and filled out offline.

Paul Bannister: Thank you Paul. Thought that one might be tricky, allowing the space and probably a lot of other things I don't even know about.

Id like this as I create alot of educational workbooks. The student can fill in the workbook play media within the pdf as well and fill in using dropdown etc.

An example of doodle books - I dont think this one is editable - but would be good to have an instruction and practice area that can be drawn on.
I know this is an app but if you had base drawings like these fashion croquis in a workbook that could somehow interface with Apple
Seems to be possible using Pages to import and then draw - so I guess you wouldnt need the PDF to be editable
Also consider checklist boxes
And some other instruction guides - probably not how you might not do it technically but could be helpful

Personally I would just have one box for multi-line text or drawing for flexibility. In that linked example if you go beyond the character field in each line the text doesnt wrap and you cant seem to start entering in data on the subsequent line due to the overlay.

planned
In design phase - need some more examples.

Paul Bannister: Hi Paul
The idea started trying to help a colleague who has published this hard copy workbook through Amazon. We were talking about how is she could convert it in to an eBook from a PDF – but have the self-filled out content as electronically editable then she would make a LOT more money with digital downloads.
The key is so customers don’t have to print the documents off but can still complete the sections. Points for also being able to draw/doodle in the windows – which most people can do on a iPad/tablet etc.
This is also another editable workbook I have from someone else (attached) – which looks more like they have used tables for the content.
Hope that helps.

To keep it simple, maybe have the creator finish the ebook, and then have the ability to lay forks over the finished product? I do that with PDF escape for my workbooks now.

Would be great to have some way to edit and fill in workbooks or even be able to draw/doodle on a stylus device such as an iPad or Note device.

I have companion workbooks for my books - it's challenging to get the template layouts to look good as workbooks (with space for answers).
Paul Bannister
Amanda (or others) - could you show me some examples - so I know what you're trying to replicate

Paul Bannister: I sent you a reply email with a PDF example and also a link to a hardcopy workbook being sold on Amazon that someone I know wants to sell as a digital download
Ruthie Bowles
Paul Bannister: I have several examples! I'll send them!
