# PlatoForms

PlatoForms is a SaaS platform for building online forms, collecting submissions, and automating document workflows. The platform supports both creating modern web forms from scratch and converting existing PDF documents into interactive online forms.

PlatoForms helps organizations eliminate paper-based and manual PDF workflows by enabling users to complete forms directly in a browser without printing, scanning, or installing PDF software.
