    Hi,

    Ik wil graag dat gebruikers van het formulier een bestand van het formulier kunnen downloaden, zodat ze dit kunnen invullen en weer kunnen uploaden. Het gaat in dit geval om een excelformulier. Is dit mogelijk en zo ja, hoe werkt dit dan?

    Hi toeslagenteam,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Our Dutch Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in your language, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

    Let me get back to your question. If I understand you correctly, you want to create a fillable PDF using an Excel form. If so, it's not possible to create a fillable PDF using an Excel form. But it's possible to create a Fillable PDF using PDF Editor easily. Let me show you how:

    First, create your form using Form Builder, then follow the steps below:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Dropdown icon beside the Jotform Logo.
    2. Click on PDF Editor and click on + New PDF tab on the top.
    3. Click on Create PDF Form and select PDF Version of Your Form.
    4. Then, click on Continue. This will create a Fillable PDF form using the web form.

    Also, you can create a Fillable PDF form from the Scratch or by uploading a PDF file. You can check out this guide for more information. You can also check out this guide for more information about fillable PDFs.

    Also, you can create a Smart PDF form using your existing PDF form. Jotform makes it easy to integrate your PDF files using Smart PDF Forms. Let me walk you through it:

    1. On your My Forms page, click on Create Form on the top-left side of the page. 

    2. Choose Import Form and then Import PDF Form.

    3. Now, upload your PDF file.

    4. Add the necessary fields and customize them using the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.

    Sometimes, the fields that are automatically created in the PDF file will be in the wrong place. If that happens, you'll have to move and resize the fields. Check out the screencast below to see how to do that:

    That's it. The final preview will look like the one below:

    You can check out this guide for more information. If that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, can you explain a bit more so I can help you better?

    Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.
