    Hi,

    I want to verify that when Jotform converts a form into PDF (a JotForm created form), that the data that is captured in the same manner (along with the form "rules") as the web-based version.  I completed a test form that we converted into a PDF through Jot, and when I press on the Submit button (that was created with the form) I continue to receive an error stating that "one or more fields are required" even though all required fields are populated with data.

    Widgets, Conditions and other advanced features normally available on the online version of your form will not work with the PDF version. All the Basic Fields that will work with a PDF form are listed in detail here on the guide I'm citing below.

    There's also a short Q&A section on that guide (under Some tips and answers to the questions that you might have) that will show the limitations of of using a PDF Form.

    Can you tell us which form you converted into PDF so we can test it?
