Switch a form between a webpage and a printable document

You can get a printable version of a web form, or a web version of a printable, from the editor. Makeform never changes your form in place. It either opens the print preview or makes a separate new form for you.

Webpage to printable

  1. Click Form type: Webpage above the chat box. The menu opens with Printable and Webpage.
  2. Click Printable. If the form can be printed as is, its print preview opens. Your form stays a webpage. For details on printing or downloading, see Print a form.

Does your form have parts that can't work on paper, such as file uploads or payments? Then the menu tells you what you'd lose.

Choose Make a new version and Makeform creates a separate printable for you in a new chat.

Printable to webpage

  1. Click Form type: Printable above the chat box.
  2. Click Webpage, then Make a new version. You always get a separate webpage form in a new chat.

If your printable has tables to fill in or split answer boxes, the menu warns you first that they'll change.

What happens to your original

Nothing. Your original keeps its link and its settings. Your responses stay with it too. They don't move to the new version.

If Makeform can't make the new version, you'll see "Couldn't make the new version. This form is unchanged. Try again."

Limits

A new version follows the usual AI limits. A printable can have up to 30 blanks on Free, or 60 on Pro. On Free, the AI writes the first 20 questions of a webpage form.
