Contracts and Agreements
Create reusable agreements with pre-filled details, completion fields, and signatures.
PDF Document Creator
Create It Once. Download the PDF or Publish It Online.
Start with AI, a blank canvas, or a ready-made template. Download a read-only or fillable PDF—or publish the same design online, collect data and signatures, and generate a completed PDF after each submission.
The Document and Its Data Stay Connected
PlatoForms is built for workflows where the final PDF matters as much as the answers collected.
AI, a blank canvas, or a ready-made PDF document template
Three Ways to Start — One Place to Finish
- Start with AI Chat — Describe what you need and let AI build the content, fields, signature blocks, layout, and formatting.
- Start with a Blank Document — Drag text, fields, tables, images, and dividers onto the visual canvas for complete control.
- Start from a Template — Choose a multilingual PDF document template for an invoice, agreement, letter, certificate, or report. Customize it, download it as a PDF, or publish the same design as an online form.
Whichever path you choose, you continue in the same editor and can export or publish the finished design without rebuilding it.

One Document, Two Ways to Use It
Download the PDF
Export a read-only PDF for printing and sharing, or a fillable PDF that people can complete in PDF software. No publishing is required. Read-only PDFs preserve the design exactly; complex fillable PDFs may need minor layout adjustments.
Publish it online
Turn the same design into a browser-based form without rebuilding it. Share a link, collect information and signatures, and generate the completed PDF after each submission. Choose a PDF-based layout or a responsive web layout; Conversational mode presents one question at a time on mobile.
Signatures collected inline — no separate tool needed
Collect E-Signatures in the Same Workflow
Most document workflows end with chasing a signature over email. The signed copy comes back days later, formatted differently, and filed somewhere nobody can find it.
PDF Document Creator builds signature fields directly into the document. When you publish the document as an online form, PlatoForms delivers the completed PDF after submission. When you enable Signature Certificate, PlatoForms also generates a tamper-evident record with a timestamp, signer information, and SHA-256 checksum of the submitted PDF.
Professional output without a designer
Themes, Branding, and a Pre-Styled Widget Library
Hover over a theme to preview it on your actual document before applying it. Set exact hex values for color tokens, save the theme, and share it with your team so people can reuse the same palette. The pre-styled widget library provides consistent variants for inputs, tables, headers, and dividers.

Create multilingual documents from the same design
Translate a PDF Document Without Changing the Original
Choose a language and let AI create a translated copy, or clone the document unchanged and translate it yourself on the canvas. Your original document always stays untouched.
Use the same workflow for English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and dozens of other languages. See how PDF document translation works.
No more asking clients to re-enter what you already know
Send to Specific People — Pre-Filled
If you already have the recipient’s name, company, or contract details, there’s no reason to make them type it again.
Send a pre-filled invitation with those fields already populated — the recipient only fills in what’s missing. For higher-volume work, bulk pre-fill creates up to 100 personalized invitations per CSV upload.
Practical PDF document workflows
Use It When the Final Document Matters
Invoices and Estimates
Build consistent documents with customer details, itemized tables, totals, and payment terms.
Offer and Business Letters
Draft personalized letters, add company branding, and collect recipient signatures when needed.
Certificates
Design print-ready certificates or generate completed copies from submitted information.
Proposals and Quotes
Combine branded content, pricing tables, terms, and client approval in one document.
Reports and Checklists
Collect structured information online and generate a consistent PDF record after submission.
When document creation and data collection live in separate tools, fields, files, and submissions must be connected manually. PlatoForms keeps them in one workflow.

FAQ’S
-
What if I already have a PDF?
If your PDF is already designed, you do not need to rebuild it here. Make your existing PDF fillable online while keeping its original layout, fonts, and formatting. Use PDF Document Creator when you want to design a new document with AI, a blank canvas, or a template. -
How is PDF Document Creator different from the AI Form Generator?
The AI Form Generator creates a web-based data collection form — fields, logic, and structure for collecting responses. PDF Document Creator creates a complete document — contracts, letters, certificates — with full layout control and a theme system. Export a read-only or fillable PDF, or publish the same design as an online form. Different starting point, different output. -
Can I start from a PDF document template?
Yes. Choose a professionally designed starting point from the PDF document template library, customize its content, fields, layout, and branding, then export it as a PDF or convert the same design into a fillable online form. Templates are available in multiple languages. -
Can I collect data after publishing the document as an online form?
Yes. After you convert and publish the document as an online form, you can collect submissions, add conditional logic, set up approval workflows, configure notifications, and accept payments from the same platform. Availability depends on your plan and configuration. -
Does the AI output need a lot of manual editing?
AI creates an editable first draft that you can refine on the canvas. Review all generated content before using it, especially legal, financial, healthcare, or other specialized material. -
Can I use my company’s logo and brand colors?
Yes. Upload your logo, set exact brand colors in the Theme Customizer, and save the theme to share with your team. Team members can reuse the saved palette in other documents. -
Is PDF Document Creator included in the free plan?
Yes. You can start building with PDF Document Creator on a free account. See pricing for plan details and export limits. -
Can I send the document to multiple people at once?
Yes. Use bulk pre-fill to upload a CSV and generate personalized document links for multiple recipients in one go. Each person receives a pre-filled version with their specific details. -
How does PlatoForms support verifiable e-signatures?
PDF Document Creator lets you add signature fields directly to a document. When you enable Signature Certificate, PlatoForms creates a tamper-evident record containing a timestamp, signer information, and SHA-256 checksum of the submitted PDF. Electronic-signature requirements vary by jurisdiction and use case, so confirm the rules that apply to your document.
