    I did check your PDF form and did not find any issue with that. PDF form preview shows the form fields correctly. Please check the screenshot below:

    It shows fine in the editor. When I send the link, the form shows out of order. Here is the link.https://www.jotform.com/200477303242041

    I am sorry for the trouble caused to you. I did check your form and found that the long text entry fields were not displaying correctly because of the field width. 

    I have fixed the width issue and it is displaying correctly. Please check the screenshot below:

    I would suggest you to please text your form and get back to us if the issue persists.

    We will wait for your response.

    Thanks for fixing the box size. The problem of the pages being out of order
    still exists. The page with the photo is page one.

    I can't really show you an accurate screenshot as it is a three page document. I don't know why you are not seeing the issue. Everyone I have shared the link with has seen it. The page that should be first in the document is showing last. As the questions need to be done in order to make sense, that is a big problem. When I view it in editor, it is fine, but if you use the link which is how I would send it to clients there is a problem. 1582222692Screen Shot 2020 02 20 at 10 Screenshot 10

    When you download the document it shows in the correct order. I just checked the code for the link and the code is indeed backwards. So there is something happening when the link is created that is causing this issue.

    I have cloned your form and was able to see the issue, kindly note that you can order the fields using the form builder, note the PDF editor.

    Please give it a try and let us know if you have questions.

    So you are telling me that every time I create a pdf in the PDF editor that I need to fix/rebuild it in the Form builder? Doing double the work seems a bit crazy to me. Why can't the PDF editor create the form the way you create it?

    Yes, the field's order is different on both builders, what happens is that some users may want to design their PDF forms different than their web forms, that's why this is open. 

    Other changes such as removing fields will indeed affect both versions.
