Reset Editing Options in PlatoForms

  • Reset to Empty Form
    Deletes all fields—including those converted from the PDF and any fields you’ve added or edited. You’ll be left with a blank form layout.

  • Reset to PDF Original
    Reverts the form back to its initial version—exactly how it looked when first converted from your uploaded PDF.

  • Reset to AI Suggested
    Automatically applies AI-suggested fields based on your PDF’s layout and content.

    Note

    This option only appears if you previously used the AI Recognition feature when setting up your form.
