Fill PDF Forms

A library to programatically identify and fill out PDF forms

Example Code

• Read a PDF and discover the form fields

extern crate pdf_form;
use pdf_form::{Form, FieldType};
fn main(){
    // Load the pdf into a form from a path
    let form = Form::load("path/to/pdf").unwrap();
    // Get all types of the form fields (e.g. Text, Radio, etc) in a Vector
    let field_types = form.get_all_types();
    // Print the types
    for field_type in field_types {
        println!("{:?}", field_type);
    };
}

• Write to the form fields

extern crate pdf_form;
use pdf_form::{Form, FieldState};
fn main(){
    // Load the pdf into a form from a path
    let mut form = Form::load("path/to/pdf").unwrap();
    form.set_text(0, String::from("filling the field"));
    form.save("path/to/new/pdf");
}
