When editing web PDF forms or online PDF forms on PlatoForms, we’ve incorporated convenient keyboard shortcuts and quick actions to save you from unnecessary clicking and scrolling. Enjoy seamless form editing at your fingertips.
-
Keyboard shortcuts: They’re preset in your computer system, such as “Copy” and “Paste,” “Undo” and “Redo,” and “Select All.”

Shift
key while dragging to maintain alignment.
