I am really confused about using the I485 the application to register permanent resident. My mom is in Jordan. When i apply, who exactly is supposed to fill it out. How would i have my mom sign it while she is in jordan?

Anybody who filled out the same form with the same process?
 
I-485 is for people already in the US. That form should be of no interest to you if you wish to bring your mother from Jordan.

You will need to do consular filing for that. Unless direct consular filing is available(check with consulate for requirements), you will need to file I130 in the US --- once approved, various forms for the consular process need to be filled out. Google is your friend -- check the website of the consulate in Jordan. Follow all the instructions on the forms.

I was thinking to use the DORA system, but she is away. Is it legal to ask her to come to visit then adjust her status using DORA?

I choose not to answer your question, since it concerns a matter which others have designated as "the 10-foot-pole" and I think the term is very appropriate.

The law prohibits people from entering the US on a nonimmigrant visa with immigrant intent. Lots of people do this --- and in some cases it is very hard to prove and they get away with it. Nevertheless, it is against the law because it is against the policy that underlies the law.

Many people do it, get away with it and adjust status successfully. However, it is not something I would ever encourage ---- many people on here have argued the issue with me, but the fact is that to advise someone that would constitute giving advice to disobey the law.
 
When you say "come visit" I assume you mean, come here without an immigration OK visa (i.e. visa waiver or tourist). In which case the answer is "no".

Yes, I assumed that, because of the way the OP presented his/her facts.
