Form Field Layer replaces document text
I've created a form field overlay template, and applied it to a document, but instead of overlaying the form fields in the document, it opens the document I was working with when I created the form field overlay template. What am I missing?

It looks like the form field layer may have been saved into the base document instead of as a true overlay/template. When creating overlays, always save the fields separately and then apply them to the target document. Otherwise, the system will reopen the original file rather than simply layering the fields on top. For more guidance on proper saving methods, you can check resources at https://urduvoicetv.com/.

It sounds like the form field layer might have been saved with the base document instead of as a true overlay/template. When creating overlays, make sure you’re saving the fields separately and then applying them to the target document — otherwise, it will reopen the original file instead of just layering the fields on top. Double-check the export/save options in your form editor to ensure you’re saving as a reusable overlay and not embedding it into the working file.
On a related note, if you’re working on documents or profiles and want to give them a more creative, customized look, this tool could be handy: https://stylish-name.in/instagram-bio/
