How to incorporate Jotform to my Chattel Mortgage Form?

I have a chattel mortgage that I use every day. I need to enter the buyer's and seller's info plus the vehicle info. Then the financial terms. The rest of the document is the same. Can I use Jotform for this?

Hi rickharris2nd,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Do you have a copy of your Chattel Mortgage form in PDF format? If so, you can upload it in Jotform to turn it into a form. This way, you'd be able to input your buyer, seller, vehicle info, and financial terms. We've made a small guide explaining the main aspects of Smart PDF Forms that you might find helpful.

1. Creating a Smart PDF form:

• Go to your My Forms page, and click on the Create Form button.

• Then, it will redirect you to the Smart PDF Forms page.
• Now, click on Upload PDF and upload your document to Jotform.

2. Matching form fields with the original PDF document:

As a default feature, whenever a PDF document is uploaded to the system, it automatically connects fields with the original PDF document. If there is any problem with the connections, you can manually connect your form fields with your PDF document. It’s really easy. Let me show you how:

• In Smart PDF Forms, select the field that has no connection with the original PDF document.
• After selecting it, click on the Add to PDF button.
• Then, move your cursor over the PDF side of the screen, and then position and resize it the way you want it.

3. Adding Form Elements, Payments, or Widgets manually:

• In Smart PDF Forms, click on the Add Form Element menu on the right side of the screen.
• In the menu that appears on the left side of the screen, you can add anything you like.

4. Designing Smart PDF Forms:

• In Smart PDF Forms, click on the Paint Roller icon on the right side of the screen.
• In the menu that appears, you can design your form anyway you prefer.
• Also, you can inject CSS codes to the Inject Custom CSS Codes section under the Style tab.
• After you make your changes, click on Save.

5. Disabling the right panel:

• In Smart PDF Forms, in the blue navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
• In the menu that come sup, disable the Original PDF connection to your Online Form option.

6. Publishing the Smart PDF form:

• In Smart PDF Forms, in the blue navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Publish.
• Here, you can publish your form using the link, email, or QR code.

7. Disabling the PDF thumbnail on the welcome page:
