    Hi,

    On form 92915214355962, I want to add an additional "SUBMIT" button. Until recently there was an option to do this or ability to create a copy. So how can I do it now ?
    I want to add it after element: id_170 as it can be submitted at this point if conditions allow.

    Best,
    Robert

    It seems you may only add one submit button in your PDF fillable form builder.

    The option to add multiple submit button is only available in the Web Form builder.

    Hope this information helps.

    If you need further assistance, let us know.

    So, Can I copy this form into the web form builder?

    I have tested this and you may clone the form using the Form URL and as Card Form.

    Then you can change the Form Layout to classic (All questions on one page).

    An extra submit button will be left after changing the form layout.

    Hi,

    I was able to add it using Field Manager. Although this is still not Form Builder, so, I will incorperate your solution as well.

    You had to do it as Card Form first, interesting.

    Many thanls!

    Hi,

    I tried your option but I was a bit confused as I though it would change to form builder. It did create an additional though that I colud use.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the fillable form builder into a web builder.

    It will however add a submit button but you cannot add it manually in the selection. The submit button will show in the form field after switching layouts.

    It seems your work around using the Field Manager is the best option in adding the submit button in the fillable form builder.

    Hi,

    FYI.

    By creating a new form, then using Field Manager, I copied all the fields into it. Now I have copy of the "Bata PDF Form Builder" in "Form Builder"
