Depending on the stage of development of designing a new PDF or editing an existing PDF, there are several methods for obtaining a blank version.

Methods for Accessing Blank PDFs

Complete a Blank Submission

This method is the best option for guaranteeing a completely blank PDF. Keep in mind that Required fields must have values in order to progress in the form so you may need to remove the requirements before using this method.

1. Open the GoCanvas application on your device.
2. Log in and Sync your device.
3. Start a new submission of the form.
4. Leave all fields empty as you work through the submission.
5. Submit the form as usual.
6. Download the completed submission PDF from the web portal.

Display Fields in the PDF

If you are using the method above, keep in mind that some fields may utilize the Show This Field on PDF setting to hide fields under predetermined circumstances. If this is the case, be sure to change this setting to Always before attempting to create a blank submission.

To learn more about adjusting this setting, please see, "What is Show This Field on PDF in the Advanced Form Builder?"
