    I would like to get more details about this since there are some ways in which that can be done and some that would not be possible to do, but knowing what you are exactly looking for will help us help you.

    I presume that you are looking to have a link on your jotform to the Word file (as email attachment) that everyone on your jotform would be able to download and use.

    If that is what you are after, that would be possible by uploading the file on some server and creating a link on your form to it - with which we can assist you.

    If you are looking to add the file to the jotform and have it downloaded from there, then that would not be possible at this time.

    Do however give us more details as mentioned above and we would be happy to see how we can be of assistance.

    I received some submissions on my upload form. Please do not skip the 1st step which is to clone the upload form into your account. And only then upload the pdf file using your cloned form.
