    Hi There

    As a Soft Tissue Therapist, I require a signed Covid Screening document. I have uploaded the original PDF from my association and managed to create a form. But when I download the submitted form as an PDF I can't open it. It tells me the Pdf file has been damaged and can't be repaired! What is happening?

    kind regards

    Claudia

    I have tested a cloned version of your fillable form and it seems to be working at my end.

    I have cleared your form cache.

    Kindly try to test your fillable PDF https://www.jotform.com/form/201938850107051  again and let us know how it goes.

    Hi
    Great that’s better. Though I think I’ve just deleted my forms arrgghhh. Anyhow. Might have start with a new original pdf as one page went missing when I converted the original word document to pdf. Think I’m starting to get hang of it but my guess is I still need a bit of help working this out. The app doesn’t seem to play with me now on my iPad.

     Are you importing the Word document into the PDF Converter to create a fillable PDF?

    Unfortunately, you cannot import the Word document, it has to have a Fillable PDF to be successfully transformed into an online form.

    You can check these guides to build the Form from scratch:

    I know that. I converted the word into pdf prior. Though have received the original doc as pdf now so won’t have to convert. I’ll get to that later today.
    Thank you :)
