How to Import our PDF File in Jotform?

Can we import out file? Pr, do we have to use your creator?

Thanks

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Jotform makes it easy to integrate your PDF files using Smart PDF Forms. Let me walk you through it:

• Click the Create Form button on your My Forms page. 
• Choose Import Form and then Import PDF Form.
• Now, upload your PDF file.

• Add the necessary fields and customize them using the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.

Sometimes, the fields that are automatically created in the PDF file will be in the wrong place. If that happens, you'll have to move and resize the fields. Check out the screencast below to see how to do that: 

• Finally, click on the Wand icon below the Adobe Sign Widget to open Widget Settings.
• Now, in the Adobe Sign section, on the right side of the page, click on Authenticate to authorize the widget.

That's it. The final preview will look like the one below:

But keep in mind that you cannot change the original PDF within Jotform. You can only amend the online form. To edit your original PDF, use Adobe Acrobat and re-upload it in the form.

Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.
