PDF upload: Why form appears even when import failed?

I tried uploading a pdf into jotform, I received an email saying it failed, however I can see the file on my forms page but when I try and open it says there is no form.

Please help :)

I have checked on our logs and found that you received the email about the failed attempt to import your PDF form, please do note that this will require to create the form in our Form Builder. 

Here are some chapters from our guides that will help you to start building your form: 

https://www.jotform.com/help/chapter-1-Getting+Started+with+JotForm

https://www.jotform.com/help/chapter-2-Create+Forms

The form still appears on your forms list, but it cannot be modified and it will simply load blank. 

If you have any question, please let us know.

I'm just wondering why it failed?? Does that mean that I cannot use any kind of form like that??

It the form you were trying to import was from Adoble FormsCentral then it should work, otherwise that may be the reason why it did not import, here's a guide about it: https://www.jotform.com/help/340-How-to-Import-Adobe-FormsCentral-PDF-Forms-to-JotForm 

I would suggest you to instead create the form through our Form Builder and then you could export it as PDF fillable form: https://www.jotform.com/help/212-How-to-Create-a-PDF-Form

Hope this helps.
