How to Create a Fillable PDF with Jotform
Creating a fillable PDF with Jotform is easy. You can either upload an existing PDF and convert it using the Smart PDF Editor or build your form from scratch using the PDF Form Builder.
To convert an existing PDF, simply upload your PDF file. Jotform will automatically detect and convert the form fields. You can then customize your form by adding widgets, additional fields, and more. Once you're satisfied, publish your form and share it via a link, email, QR code, or social media.

Key Benefits of Fillable PDFs
Fillable PDFs offer a multitude of advantages over traditional paper forms. They provide a faster and more efficient way to gather information. They can be stored online and accessed by many people at once, making them useful for diverse purposes, from applications to surveys.
Unlike static PDFs, fillable PDFs allow users to directly enter data, sign documents, and integrate with other tools, creating a more interactive user experience. The digital format allows users to complete forms on their computer, smartphone, or tablet. They also offer an environmentally-friendly option by eliminating the need for physical paper forms.
