    The pdf file for a form has been updated with a couple more fields. I need to upload the new file and and add the fields but I do not want to lose all of the fields already mapped. What is the process?

    I recommend using the Enable Media Replace plugin to replace the PDF file in-place in the Media Library.

    Normally, if you didn’t map to fields in the specific media file ID, then you can just attach a new file to the form and remove the old one. However, if you mapped to a specific file ID, or you embedded an image onto a specific page in the specific file, then there is no way around it but to replace the media file in-place.

    I have been thinking about adding a replace file button to avoid this issue, however, it is a bit problematic.
