    Hi Sreejan,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Can you explain a bit more about the issue so I can get a clearer idea of what’s happening? Can you send me the link to your form so I can take a look for you. You can easily find your form's URL in Form Builder. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Publish.

    Here is how the form looks

    In the editor the form looks okay however on the edit page, the form is totally messed up
    Form link:

    Also I see that teh form link previously used to be: https://form.jotform.com/250031883378459
    However right now its showing: https://pci.jotform.com/form/250031883378459

    Hi Sreejan,

    What do you mean when you say In the editor the form looks okay however on the edit page it looks messed up? It seems like you're referring to your PDF document, because when I cloned and tested your form, I found out that the PDF document looks like this.

    My form looks weird even though I didnt make any changes Image 1 Screenshot 50If so, there are three alternative solutions if the PDF file doesn't change when you update the form:

    The first one is when you make any changes and open the PDF editor:

    1. After you make changes in Form Builder, click on the Downward Arrow icon on the top-left side of the page and select PDF Editor.
    2. Click on the Yes, Proceed button in the window that pops up, and the file will update automatically.

    1. Click on the Add Element menu on the left side of the page.
    2. Then, click on the Form Fields tab, drag and drop or click on the fields you want to add your PDF document.

    My form looks weird even though I didnt make any changes Image 3 Screenshot 72 And third, you can create the PDF file in a new tab again. The new file will include all the fields on the current form automatically. It's easy to set up. Let's do it:

    1. In the blue navigation bar at the top, click on the New PDF button.
    2. In the windows that opens, choose a layout and that’s it.
