    I am having trouble with the pdf that’s sent with the email notification. It seems to be cutting off and not showing all the info. See attached for one I just created. It’s not showing the contractors address and work start /end dates.
    It also doesn’t show the "Accept Conditions" box and more importantly, the signature. It sent a separate png of just the signature.

    Here it is from 2 sources. 1-the pdf sent in the email notification and 2- when I download a pdf of the submission from my Jotform dashboard.

    I uploaded screenshots to the thread but I can’t see them in the thread. I noticed this in the past. Can you see them?

    Hi John,

    You can update the PDF version of your form submissions using the PDF Editor to include any fields that aren't currently showing in your downloaded PDF. Let me show you how to do it:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Downward Arrow icon next to the Jotform Logo and select PDF Editor.

    2. Click on the New PDF button in the top area and click on Default Layout.

    3. In PDF Editor, on the Add Element menu on the left side under the Form Fields tab, select and add the necessary fields you want to include in the submission PDF version.

    4. Go back to Form Builder and click on Settings in the orange navigation bar on the top.

    5. Click on Emails on the left side menu, then click on the Pencil icon over the Notification Email banner.

    6. Now click on the Advanced tab and select the updated version of your submission PDF template, and click on the Save button.

    Now you can select the updated PDF template in your submission table, and it will show in the notification email attachment. Check out the sample result below:
