Advanced tools
Take an existing PDF Form and data and PDF Filler will create a new PDF with all given fields populated.
Readme
A node.js PDF form field data filler and FDF generator toolkit. This essentially is a wrapper around the PDF Toolkit library PDF ToolKit.
First, run npm install node-pdffiller --save
for your app. Then, in an Express app:
var pdfFiller = require('node-pdffiller');
// ...
##Examples
var pdfFiller = require( 'node-pdffiller' );
var sourcePDF = "test/test.pdf";
var destinationPDF = "test/test_complete.pdf";
var data = {
"last_name" : "John",
"first_name" : "Doe",
"date" : "Jan 1, 2013",
"football" : "Off",
"baseball" : "Yes",
"basketball" : "Off",
"hockey" : "Yes",
"nascar" : "Off"
};
pdfFiller.fillForm( sourcePDF, destinationPDF, data, function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log("In callback (we're done).");
});
This will take the test.pdf, fill the fields with the data values and create a complete filled in PDF (test_filled_in.pdf)
var pdfFiller = require( 'node-pdffiller' );
var sourcePDF = "test/test.pdf";
var FDF_data = pdfFiller.generateFDFTemplate( sourcePDF, function(err, fdfData) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(fdfData);
});
This will print out this
"last_name" : "",
"first_name" : "",
"date" : "",
"football" : "",
"baseball" : "",
"basketball" : "",
"hockey" : "",
"nascar" : ""
};```
#### 3. Map form fields to PDF fields
````javascript
var pdfFiller = require( 'node-pdffiller' ),
sourcePDF = "test/test.pdf",
FDF_data,
destinationPDF = "test/test_complete.pdf";
var conversionMap = {
"lastName": "last_name",
"firstName": "first_name",
"Date": "date",
"lastName": "last_name",
"footballField": "football",
"bballField": "basketball",
"baseballField": "baseball",
"hockeyField": "hockey",
"nascarField": "nascar"
};
var FormFields = {
"lastName" : "John",
"firstName" : "Doe",
"Date" : "Jan 1, 2013",
"footballField" : "Off",
"baseballField" : "Yes",
"bballField" : "Off",
"hockeyField" : "Yes",
"nascarField" : "Off"
};
pdfFiller.mapForm2PDF( data, convMap, function(err, mappedFields) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(mappedFields);
});
This will print out the object below.
"last_name" : "John",
"first_name" : "Doe",
"date" : "Jan 1, 2013",
"football" : "Off",
"baseball" : "Yes",
"basketball" : "Off",
"hockey" : "Yes",
"nascar" : "Off"
};```
#### 4. Convert fieldJson to FDF data
````javascript
var pdfFiller = require( 'node-pdffiller' );
var sourcePDF = "test/test.pdf";
var fieldJson = [
{
"title" : "last_name",
"fieldfieldType": "Text",
"fieldValue": "Doe"
},
{
"title" : "first_name",
"fieldfieldType": "Text",
"fieldValue": "John"
},
{
"title" : "date",
"fieldType": "Text",
"fieldValue": "Jan 1, 2013"
},
{
"title" : "football",
"fieldType": "Button",
"fieldValue": false
},
{
"title" : "baseball",
"fieldType": "Button",
"fieldValue": true
},
{
"title" : "basketball",
"fieldType": "Button"
"fieldValue": false
},
{
"title" : "hockey",
"fieldType": "Button"
"fieldValue": true
},
{
"title" : "nascar",
"fieldType": "Button"
"fieldValue": false
}
];
var FDFData = pdfFiller.convFieldJson2FDF( data );
console.log(FDFData)
This will print out this
{
"last_name" : "John",
"first_name" : "Doe",
"date" : "Jan 1, 2013",
"football" : "Off",
"baseball" : "Yes",
"basketball" : "Off",
"hockey" : "Yes",
"nascar" : "Off"
};
