Online PDF forms are changing how businesses handle documents.
Instead of printing, scanning, emailing attachments, and chasing versions, online PDF forms allow people to complete documents directly in their browser—quickly, securely, and from any device.
PlatoForms takes this further by turning existing PDFs into online forms and automated workflows—without forcing teams to redesign documents or start from scratch.
Online PDF forms from PlatoForms are designed to be simple to complete and easy to manage (for both teams and recipients).
Users can fill out forms on desktop or mobile—no downloads, no paid software, no printing. Helpful hints, clear field layouts, and optional auto-fill features guide users through the process.
This reduces friction for recipients and saves time for your team.
