Real feedback from teams using PlatoForms
Phenomenal software
PlatoForms has allowed me to completely automate the flow of data from my website’s Fluent form into a PDF which I send to clients. It saves me a lot of time as a result. Worth the monthly fee.
Reed Sutton
Owner of Frugal FlyerNice product, fills a unique niche I was in dire need of
The transition from PDF form to web is nearly flawless. Only flaw is keeping field names from PDF. I appreciate the product you provide and hope you continue to support it.
Troy Miller
Executive Director of Chicago Education PressAbsolutely LOVE PlatoForms
We are able to convert fairly complicated pdf forms into easily fillable, online forms and have completed PDFs sent to our team members for intake processing. Very happy with the product!
Lee Wheeler
Digital Operations Manager of Neighborhood Legal ServiceGreat option for formatting data!
It allows me to design documents as I want and adds data input functionality. I can brand them, use image recognition, and easily clone them for changes. It organizes files neatly with specific names and locations. Uploading CSV files for dropdown options makes inputting data effortless.
Alexandra Blaser
Assistant A.D. for Compliance of Ottawa University ArizonaA true business solution
PlatoForms revolutionized my client’s childcare intake. They used to send parents home with many paper forms duplicating fields, causing headaches during inspections. Now, it’s one streamlined online form. Completed PDFs are emailed promptly with all info needed, transforming their business operations.
Mark Beuerman
Digital Marketer of Websites with LoveEasy to use and great features
PlatoForms matches our visual style for our older sales team, making deployment fast and sales closures quicker. We manage contracts in real-time across multiple offices, integrate Slack alerts for instant updates on sales, and ensure real-time control over offers and discounts. Clients receive contracts promptly in their inbox once processed in our systems.
Alejandro Chavero
General Manager of Sigma Radio S.A. de C.V.Love it!
It’s incredibly user-friendly. We implemented an online application to attract more job applicants. Allowing them to complete paperwork from home boosts their interest in our service. Setting up the forms was straightforward, and our team loves using this program.

Love the ability to easy collect patients info from a form on a website and have it ready on a PDF for print or safe save.
Robert Perez
Owner of Robi Joe StudioPlatoForms offers HIPAA-compliant form data collection affordably
Our medical office went virtual, so we needed secure online forms for patients instead of mailing or emailing. PlatoForms is HIPAA-compliant, so we chose them. I easily converted our PDF forms to online forms with their drag-and-drop builder - no coding. Now I just update forms as needed. PlatoForms let us go paperless while keeping everything HIPAA-safe.
Tracy Comer
Freelancer, Regent Mental Health GroupForms creation at its best with superb customer service
