    Yes, you can do this with JotForm. You can convert your form to fillable PDF which allows offline filling of the PDF form.

    You might want to check the following guides:

    Once the user is connected to the internet the data user has filled submission will be updated on the server. 

    The advantage with fillable PDF is you can fill data offline on the PDF document and submit however if you do not have an internet connection the data will not be sent to the server but once you are connected to a network then the data will be synced to your form submission data.
