    Hi Divorcios,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Currently, there is no direct setting mentioned that automatically forces all field values to uppercase on the original PDF form. The available options focus on mapping fields between your online form and the original PDF (Smart PDF Forms), updating/re-uploading the PDF, and customizing how fields or text blocks look in PDF Editor (font family, size, color, alignment, etc.).

    Let me help you with what is possible now:

    Option 1 – Use a Text element in PDF Editor and insert form fields

    1. Go to your Workspace page, select your form, click More, then under the Data column click Create PDF Document (or open an existing PDF Document). This opens PDF Editor.
    2. Click on Add Element and drag a Text element into your PDF document.
    3. Write your content in the Text editor and use the Form Fields dropdown in the toolbar to insert your form’s answers where needed.

    In that Text element, you can manually type your labels or surrounding text in UPPERCASE. However, the inserted field values themselves will appear as they were entered by the user; there is no documented automatic “convert to uppercase” transformation for those values in PDF Editor.

    Option 2 – Edit the original PDF layout externally, then re-upload

    1. Edit your original PDF in an external PDF editor (for example, to make labels or static text uppercase).
    2. In Smart PDF Forms, click Upload in the top bar, then Update PDF, and choose Re-Upload PDF to upload your updated version.
    3. Check that your existing online form fields are still mapped correctly to the new PDF layout.

    This lets you control the uppercase styling of the static text on the PDF, but again, it does not automatically transform user-entered answers to uppercase.

    If you meant something more specific (for example, only certain fields, or a particular Smart PDF form), please clarify which form and which fields you want in uppercase so we can see if there is any other supported workaround.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hi Divorcios,

    Thanks for clarifying that.

    Understood – you’re requesting a feature to have an option that automatically shows all field values in UPPERCASE on the original PDF form, and you’re aware this is not currently available.

    Let me summarize your suggestion clearly so it can be understood as feedback:

    • Feature request: A setting or toggle (per field or globally) that forces submitted values to be rendered in uppercase when they are placed on the original PDF in Smart PDF Forms.
    • Scope: Applies to mapped fields on the original PDF (not just labels or static text), so whatever the user types (mixed case, lowercase, etc.) is automatically converted to uppercase in the generated PDF.

    After we hear back from you, we’ll have a better idea of what’s going on and how to help. For example, if you want this only for specific field types (like names or addresses), or for all fields globally, feel free to add that detail so the request is even more precise.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hi Divorcios,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I understand that you'd like to apply uppercase in every field to show on the original PDF. As previously mentioned, there is no direct setting that automatically forces all field values to appear as uppercase letters on the original PDF form.

    While the feature you're looking for isn't available at Jotform right now, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers. Exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.

    This would be a useful feature, especially for official forms where consistency matters. Automatically displaying all form field entries in uppercase on the final PDF can improve readability and help meet document formatting requirements.
