    Hi eventsva,

    I can't seem to find this document anywhere, did you delete it? If yes, do you still need assistance with this form? If so, are you referring to not being able to edit the texts in the document? Keep in mind that the document that you uploaded for your Jotform Sign as is. Meaning, the document will be displayed however it is downloaded.

    So, if you want to collect information via Jotform Sign Document, you can edit the PDF using any third-party PDF Editor, and then upload an empty PDF that only displays questions, and use the detect field option to automatically create fields. Let me show you how to properly upload a PDF to your Sign Document:

    1. On your My Sign Documents page, and click on Create Sign Document on the left side of the page.
    2. Click on Upload Document to upload your own document from your device.
    3. Drag and drop your document into the Upload box, or click on Upload Document to select it.
    4. Once you add your document, click on the Create Signable Document button.

    1. Click the Detect Fields button in the option that appears below the green navigation bar.
    2. After it matches the suitable elements with the spaces, click on Keep All.
    3. If you want to delete a field, just click on it and then click the Trash Can icon below it.

    2. In the Document Elements menu on the left, drag and drop the elements to your document.
