Can you help in creating a fillable PDF form?

  • Cheryl R Razey
    Asked on July 19, 2018 at 2:29 PM

    PA VFW AUXILIARY used Jot Form for reporting community service hours.  It's fill-able and sends an email directly to the chairperson. I need to do something along those lines, but, not quite as involved.  Could I get help doing something like that?

         Let me start by saying I'm not very computer savvy.    I'm attaching a word document to give you an idea what we're looking for.  Yes, we'd be looking for a Fillable PDF.  We would want it to send notifications to my email address.  And, if possible, have it insert totals automatically at the bottom.

    I'm not sure if you can attach a word document to the forms, however, you can send us a screenshot of the document.

    Guide:How-to-add-screenshots-images-to-questions-to-the-support-forum

    Or you could explain in detail the form you want to create, so that we can help your replicate it.

    Do you have a link to the form of PA VFW AUXILIARY ,so that we can have an idea on what you want your form to look like?

    Unfortunately, I'm not sure if you have posted a screenshot or a link, I can't seem to view it in your post.

    I have created a sample form so that we can determine what fields or what features you want to add .

    Sample Form:https://form.jotform.com/82004808040950

    We will wait for your response.

    Thank you.

    okay ~ that's probably a lot more in depth than what we'd need. We don't even need a place for names.  It would all end being filed by Region and Chapter number.  Let's see if I can give you a better idea.

      This is pretty much what I've been working with in the past.  But, hoping we would get better response if they could just 'fill in the blanks' and hit send.

    To clarify, are your trying to create a report? This seems to be a report. You can however, create forms to get the information, Reg.Chapter, date ,active, donations and totals.

    Sample:https://form.jotform.com/82004808040950

    Then create a report for the submission.

    Hope this information helps.

    Thank you.
