    I created a form based on someone else's form. When I had people sign it it is saving the old form.

    Hi Melony,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm sorry that you're having difficulties with this. When you said that you created a form based on someone else's form, did you mean that you cloned it? This is the reason that when you download the form, the original PDF is the one being downloaded.

    Unfortunately, there's no way to remove the option to download the Original PDF from the Jotform Table or Inbox. One of the solutions is to re-create(not clone) the form in the regular Form Builder (orange theme). Or integrate your form with Google DriveOneDrive, or Dropbox where you will select which PDF template to save. Then, download from there. Let me show you how to integrate your form:

    1. In the Smart PDF Forms Builder, click on Settings on the blue navigation bar at the top of the page.
    2. Select Integrations from the left side window, and search for the integration that you want to use. Smart PDF: Downloaded form is not the same as the form I created Screenshot 70

    Another workaround is to create a new PDF. Let me walk you through it:

    2. Select PDF Editor.Smart PDF: Downloaded form is not the same as the form I created Screenshot 81
