A library to programatically identify and fill out PDF forms
- 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");
}
