    I have trouble  with downloading an on-line form, as pdf-form: the questions are not in the correct order. What can I do?

    It doesn´t work. If I do this, I must create a completely new pdf form. I
    will have the pdf fillable form from my preexisting on-line form.

    To clarify, when you created a Fillable PDF the fields are out of order?

    If possible, can you please try to edit your Fillable PDF form fields and rearrange the fields?

    You may also create a new Fillable PDF form. Select your form in your My Form page>More>Create PDF form.
