How to Download and Edit a PDF Form

March 8, 2024

With Jotform’s PDF Editor, you can convert your online form to a PDF format. The PDF Form can be edited before publishing. You can add elements similar to when you create/edit a form in the Form Builder. Once it’s ready, you can download and share it with your clients or colleagues for submission.
