    Asked on May 11, 2025 at 11:46 AM

    Hi Something has happened to our forms in the past few weeks - the hebrew words/letters are mixing up all the time. I have a number of examples to show. Can you please check what has happend


    In the first example - in question 9 the words are mixed up so you can't understand the sentence but we have many more examples of the the same issue in different question replies.


    Thank you

    Dasha

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Can you send me the link to your form so I can take a look at it for you? We have a guide on where to find your form URL that you can check out.

    Hi Dasha,

    I checked the form that you shared, but I wasn't able to find any mix-ups. I was able to translate it using Google Translate, and the system was able to understand the test. See the screenshot below:

    Since it is coming from a response, it is your users who are formatting the answers to the form. Can you give us more screenshots of the responses from your users and describe to us how they were mixed up? Was it a typographical error or a layout issue?

    Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to help you with this.

    Hi Ronald, The question itself is fine when we receive the candidate responses in the PDF document this is where the words/letters are being mixed up. Could it be perhaps something to do with the PDF document? How can i check the response in the system?

    Hi Dasha,

    We can look into this for you. we'll just need access to your account to do that. Don't worry, you can disable that again after we're done checking things out. Let me show you how to do it:

    1. In the upper-right corner of your My Forms page, click on your Avatar/Profile Image icon.

    2. In the small window that opens, click on Settings.

    3. In the panel on the left, click on the Security tab.

    4. Then, on the bottom-right side of the page, toggle Jotform Support Access to the On position.

    PDF Document: Hebrew Letters Display Incorrectly when downloading the submission as PDF Image 2 Screenshot 41It would be great as well, if you can provide a screenshot of the mixed up words in PDF, and from which form was it specifically, so we can easily check it from our end.

    After we hear back from you, we’ll have a better idea of what’s going on and how to help.

    Hi I have provided the access. I understand where the issue is when you look at the form data submitted below please see Q9 the text is clear and legible, however once the form is turned to PDF the letters get mingled.

    please see below example of same question from PDF download this is the document which is send to us by email


    PDF Document: Hebrew Letters Display Incorrectly when downloading the submission as PDF Image 2 Screenshot 41


    Our admin team believes this is taking place for only question in the second page or the questions which are starting to go to the next page for example in the example provided question 9 is going to the new page and hence the one experiencing issues with the text being scambled. This is taking place in other questionnaires where in the second page too.


    Please let me know if any further information is required

    Thank you

    Hi,

    We appreciate that the development team has been working on the solution for over three weeks. However, due to the operational impact, it’s important for us to understand whether a resolution is expected soon or if we should start exploring alternative options, such as moving away from Jotform.

    Could you please provide a clear update on the current status and an estimated timeline for when the solution will be delivered?

    Thank you for your support.

    Any updates on this issue?

    It’s extremely difficult to operate without support for three weeks, especially regarding a problem that had already been resolved in the past. I have attempted to escalate the matter, but unfortunately have not received assistance there either.

    I appreciate the quick responses, but the issue itself still remains unresolved. Can you please prioritize this and provide a concrete update or resolution timeline?

    Thank you

    Hi Our business cannot operate with this error, we have raised it without resolution. The consultants working with the results cannot understand the girbirsh on the second page. The business is very upset because we are providing a paid service. We already resovled this issue in the past. The business is demanding we move off Jotforms to another product. Before i do this. Please update when the issue will be resolved.
