    Additionally, there are multiple, quick share options, such as email, Twitter, Facebook, and QR code. PDF forms offer the option for respondents to save their answers regardless of device or internet access, but to actually submit them, they need to be connected to the internet.

    A PDF document is a PDF (portable document file) that displays information and can be easily shared, downloaded, or printed. Jotform PDF Editor allows you to move elements around in your PDF document and customize the design.

  • What is the difference between an online form and a PDF form?

    An online form is a form that you access and submit with an internet connection. Online forms can also be fully optimized for mobile devices.

    A PDF form is a form that can be completed on digital devices with no internet connection. However, in order to submit the form, you need to be connected to the internet and have access to Adobe Acrobat Reader.

  • Can PDF forms and PDF documents be updated over time?

    Yes! You can update your PDF forms and PDF documents whenever you like.

  • How can I access Jotform PDF Editor?

  • Do I need to create a PDF document from scratch with the information I collect?

    No. You have the option to turn any information collected from your Jotform forms into a PDF document. If you choose this option, then a PDF document will be automatically created for you. Once the document is created, you can move elements around and customize the document size and layout, colors, fonts, images, and more.
