Jotform Smart PDF Forms allow you to convert your PDF document to an online form. Import your PDF file, map your form fields, and collect responses. Download the data filled out on your PDF document.
Converting your PDF to a fillable form is easy. Here’s how to do it:
- On your My Workspace page, click on Create on the top-left side of the screen.
- In the window that opens up, click on Form.
- Next, select Smart PDF Form.
- Now, click on Upload Document and upload your PDF file.
Note
The online form won’t look the same as the imported file. The system will try its best to fetch and clone the form fields from your PDF file.
Once that’s done, you should see your imported PDF along with the online form created from it. Checkout the sample screenshot below:
You can now map the fields on your online form to your PDF Document. You can check out this guide about How to Link Your Online Form Fields with PDF Through Smart PDF Forms.

So, my PDF consists of Tables and when the form creates, it does not generate a table but yet it breaks the formatting of the PDF and only places the text in a broken format. How would you deal with this issue in the instance?

I tried creating a smart pdf form but the system didn't fetch and clone the form fields in my original PDF file. It didn't recognize any of the fields. How can I make the system recognize the fields in my pdf? I'm using Chrome and I have adobe if that makes a difference
