I echo Brady's issue and question. Jotform is hijacking the URL I'm entering for a download link.
However once clicked... this is the URL that's being queried now starts with...
https://www.jotform.com/build/%3Ca%20href
And thus it fails...
How can I stop this happening?

There is an issue where it redirects to a 404 page because jotform is putting " infront of the URL. which takes it to a 404 page.
How can I force the URL to resolve to the actual domain instead of going through jotform? We need customers to download a spreadsheet template during signup and re-upload it. I've added the file to my website and can download it without issue when going to the URL but when adding it as a link in the jotform, we end up with a 404 error.

Thanks for this. I found your article via Google search.
It would be really useful if you had a "print Pdf" button with a creative commons license. As a community teacher & instructor in digital library, such a practice would help in spreading your platform for my students in the comfort of knowing that I am not violating copyright & that I am saving time. "customer journey" & removing friction.
