    Can I modify the pdf form after I have already enter form fields to the form?

    I have uploaded my pdf form to jotform. I have begun to enter form fields to the pdf form.

    I want to add text to the pdf form without having to redo all of my form fields, can I do it? I want to add: "PAYMENT IN FULL or" to the text circled in red.

    Thank you for reaching support,

    You most definitely can simply add a filled to the form and map to where you want it to be placed: https://www.jotform.com/help/610-how-to-link-your-online-form-fields-with-pdf-through-smart-pdf-forms.

    My question was can I make changes to the underlying pdf form, without having to fill in the pdf form with Jotform fields again?

    Question is asking about the changes to the underlying pdf form, can it be changed, edited, etc.?

    I want to add the text " PAYMENT IN FULL or" to the text "Deposit ($100 non-refundable deposit per reserved booth):" circled in the image below in red. In other words, I want to edit the underlying pdf form without having to redo the fills to the form. Is that possible?

    Hi there,

    Just to make sure I follow, you wish to edit/customize the imported PDF file and add in the following:

    " PAYMENT IN FULL or" to the text "Deposit ($100 non-refundable deposit per reserved booth):"

    If so, then you may have to use a PDF editor such as FoxitReader/PDFescape/Adobe Acrobat, etc.

    Then, re-upload or update the pdf file: https://www.jotform.com/help/873-how-to-update-the-pdf-through-smart-pdf-forms.

    I hope that helps.

    Best.

    Thanks. I got it!

    Do you know if I can HIDE payment widgets (ie paypal, stripe, etc) on my form until a user selects that particular payment method from my "Single Choice" widget.

    For example:

    How would you like to pay?

    o Please Invoice me

    o Pay Online via Paypal

    > When the user selects the "Pay Online via Paypal" the Paypal widget which is hid is revealed so that they can complete their transaction.

    If not is there a work around to make the above work
