    Several weeks back, we were able to view submitted forms and click on the PDF icon to download a PDF and print. Now when I click the PDF icon, it takes me to PDF editor and all the form fields are not in order. Additionally, the last subarea of our form cuts off the scores and all the text is centered.

    I have checked your PDF document and replicated the issue.

    It seems the comment sections and the single choice questions are on the different section of the PDF document.

    Can you please try creating a new PDF document and use that instead?

    To create a new PDF document click on the "New PDF" tab on the upper left side in the new PDF editor.

    I created a new PDF and it still shows sections out of order and comments all at the top.

    and it seems the fields are sorted correctly.
