    I'm not quite sure if I understand your concern correctly. If your are converting your online form to a fillable PDF, please check this guide to learn more about it: http://www.jotform.com/help/312-Fillable-PDF-Everything-you-need-to-know-about-JotForm-Fillable-PDF-Creator.

    The fillable PDF form can have the submit button, but not the reset button. The "Print" button will not be shown in the PDF form because it is already in a printable format.

    Hi Charlie
    I have followed the guidelines as per below and the submit button does not work when one submits. Is there anything I can check to see all is in order?

    Unfortunately, you can't use those features like "Reset", "Print" on converted fillable PDF forms. However, you can print your form using the PDF reader's print function.

    For your other question, you need use proper PDF reader like "Adobe Acrobat Reader" to submit a fillable form. Mac OS's default Preview tool or Chrome's PDF reader don't allow that feature, if you are trying to submit a form with using them.

     

    If you encounter any error again, please let us know.

    Thanks.
