Can I scan my existing PDF forms and convert them into a fillable PDF?

Hello,

I have PDF forms already that I'd like to scan in & have the form input entries fill in (so I don't have to do it manually).

Can the PDF filler tool help me with these PDF's? 

Or is it only for newly created PDF forms that I create online in the tool itself?

Hello @curacontracts - I'm assuming your goal is to create a fillable PDF. Sadly, your assumption is right. This only works with existing online forms built with JotForm. The usual workflow is to convert an online form into a fillable PDF.

For existing PDF files/forms that you own, scanned or otherwise, you still have to build respective forms for them using our form builder before you can convert them into fillable PDFs.

To convert an existing online form to a fillable PDF form:

1. Use the FORM BUILDER > navigate to PUBLISH > PDF > then DOWNLOAD.

2. Alternatively, you can also build one from scratch using our new PDF EDITOR.
