    Hi. i have an existing jotform that sends a pdf on completion to different parties.

    i'd like to convert one of the existing pdf's to a different (government) form that needs to be completed. it seems like i can start with the new form, but i cannot convert an already existing form to this new form's format.

    is there any way to do that?

    Hi,

    As per checking on our system, currently your Jotform account has 1 (one) form named Library Book Scanner https://www.jotform.com/form/212307741159049

    The form has one widget - Barcode Scanner. There's no email notification or autoresponder set. No Conditional Logic also set on the form.

    Regarding "i have an existing jotform that sends a pdf on completion to different parties"

    Could you kindly share us the form URL so that we can further check?

    i created these forms under a different account.

    The existing form is here: https://form.jotform.com/211911469815156

    The new smart pdf form is here: https://form.jotform.com/213028889344059


    I want to send the smart pdf in the email notifications of existing form. I understand I will need to add more fields to the existing form in order to have it filled out completely, but I'm fine with that. is there any way to do that without restarting from the beginning and recreating all the logic?


    Basically, I want the pdf that gets sent in my original form to look like the new form.

    Hi there,

    The Original PDF document can not be uploaded in an existing form. To use the PDF document that you've created you'll have to use it in a new form.

    In your existing form, you can use the documents that you can create within the PDF Editor and customize them as per your requirement.

    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the information. I often work with pdf files and it is very informative for me. There are a lot of tasks at the university. And besides reading, we were asked to write many assignments. I was shown the site https://writinguniverse.com/free-essay-examples/business/ and I found out what examples of tasks exist. Thanks to additional resources I was able to adjust my schedule and devote time to other activities.
