    I need to create a fillable PDF copy of my existing online web form and edit it WITHOUT changing the web form.

    How can I do this without building a new version from scratch?

    You may clone your web form to JotForm account and then you can create a fillable PDF form from the PDF editor.

    I would like to apologize for any confusion.

    I believe you are trying to create a fillable PDF copy of your form.

    If you do what is shown in the screenshot above, you will be redirected to PDF Editor page where you can start creating/editing the fillable PDF copy of your form.


    As for deleting a field in the fillable PDF copy of your form on the PDF Editor page, I believe you are referring to this warning message.

    Fields in your Web Form need to match the fields in the fillable PDF copy of it. When you delete a field on either the Web Form or the fillable PDF copy of it, it will be deleted on the other automatically.
