FAQ’S
-
How do I turn my PDF into a web form?
Upload your PDF to PlatoForms and the platform helps you turn it into an online form you can edit and publish. The process is simple, and the form works on any device once you share it. -
Is a web-based form different from my original PDF?
Yes. A web-based form reorganizes the content of your PDF so it works better in browsers and on mobile devices. All your fields stay the same, but the layout becomes cleaner and easier to complete. -
Is PlatoForms free to use?
You can try PlatoForms with a 15-day free trial when you sign up. After the trial, you can still convert PDFs and get up to 100 submissions each month for free. More features are available in the paid plans or through a subscription upgrade. -
How does AI help me when creating a web form?
The system uses AI recognition to find boxes, labels, tables, and other fields in your PDF. This reduces manual work and helps you set up your form faster. -
What fields can I add to my web form?
-
How can I share my web form?
You can share your form in many ways: by link, website embed, QR code, or by sending an email invitation. See all methods in our sharing guide. -
Can I limit who can see my form?
Yes. You can use controls like password protection to keep your form private. -
What happens after someone submits the form?
You get an email with the completed PDF, plus a dashboard alert. All submissions appear on your Submissions page. If you connect a cloud drive, the files upload there automatically. Learn more in the cloud drive guide. -
Is help available if I get stuck?

What is the conversational form view?
It shows one question at a time, like a chat. This can make long forms easier to finish. You can choose between a classic full-form view or the conversational view when turning your PDF into an online form.
