The service will return the filled in PDF as a download. Be sure to pass a key of "pdf" with the URL of the PDF to fill. POST data should be in the format of key => value where key represents the field name and value represents the field value. To fill out a PDF, issue a POST request to /fill. To get a JSON representation of all fields within a given PDF To get a list of all fields within a given PDF Getting Field Namesįield names can be discovered locally using open-source PDF utility pdftk, or dynamically using the service. In both insstances, the field value should contain the user input for that given field.

In non-fillable PDFs, the key should represent the field coordinates as described below (e.g., 100,100). For fillable PDFs the key should represent the field name. These fields can either be fillable PDF form fields, or can be an arbitrary x/y coordinate of a non-fillable field. PDF Filler works by accepting a key => value pair of field names and values. The project abstracts the form-filling logic of pdftk and prawn. Provides developers with field name lookup service to facilitate the rapid development of client applications.Dynamically generates HTML forms for any fillable PDF.Works with both fillable and non-fillable (e.g., scanned) PDFs.
