So I have a PDF to which I am writing a simple subset of data. PDF is attached. I am able to render the data fine, but whenever I view the PDF itself, the form field appears empty until you click in the field The data then appears, but until you actually change the data, the content of the field remains empty.

If I view the PDF with a browser instead of acrobat, no data appears. I've also tried using the save : imgpdf option, but no data is placed into the field. Just trying to figure out what happened as this same process worked flawlessly for us in the previous year.

f1095c.pdf

This code:

var pdf = pdfFillForm.writeSync('1.pdf',
	{ "fill_1": " \u03A9" }, { "save": "pdf" } );
var pdf = pdfFillForm.writeSync(1.pdf',
	{ "fill_1": "Ё" }, { "save": "pdf" } );

failed with errors:

"Error: AnnotWidget::layoutText, cannot convert U+03A9"
"Error: AnnotWidget::layoutText, cannot convert U+0401"

Got these errors during npm install:

My application runs continuously. It generates one file per session. But there is a problem that after each application consumes more and more memory. That is, a memory leak occurs after file generation.
p.s. If you do not create the file during the session - no leaks. It occurs only after the generation.

how to install on windows platform？

I know it is not likely that you would support node 1.10.x. Nevertheless, can you give me some hints on how to support node 0.10.x?

I would like to contribute and maintain another branch.

Thanks @tpisto for this library!

I tried lots of programs to create a pdf form that is able to work with this, but none of them work, of course acrobat do work like a charm.

Do you have any recomendations? im running ubuntu :)

thanks!

Hi! How would I check checkboxes? I tried setting the fieldname to true / false, but it didn't work

I have a hard time installing this module on AWS Elastic Beanstalk, basically npm install fails when trying to install this package… my guess is, it has to do with the libraries that are needed to install prior before installing the module itself via npm.

I can specify packages that get installed prior npm install, but apt-get is not available

But I can specify yum packages in my .ebextensions config gile like so

packages: 
  yum:
    libmemcached: [] 
    ruby-devel: []
    gcc: []

But I have no idea, what yum packages would be needed.

using these don't work. Can you help out?

packages:
  yum:
    libpoppler-qt5-dev: []
    libcairo2-dev: []

The result (Buffer) have different values and slightly different size every time pdf-fill-form's write is called.

var pdfFillForm = require('pdf-fill-form');
var crypto = require('crypto');
var fs = require('fs');
var Promise = require('bluebird');

var pdf = {
    Married: true    
};

var jsonSha1Signature = crypto.createHash('sha1').update(JSON.stringify(pdf)).digest('hex');
console.log(jsonSha1Signature);

pdfFillForm.write('./fw4x.pdf', pdf, {'save': 'pdf'}).then(function(result) 
{
    var  fsWriteFile = Promise.promisify(fs.writeFile);

    return fsWriteFile('blah.pdf', result).then(function(writeResult) 
    {
        var algo = 'sha1';
        var shasum = crypto.createHash(algo);

        var file = 'blah.pdf';
        var s = fs.ReadStream(file);
        s.on('data', function(d) { shasum.update(d); });
        s.on('end', function() {
            var d = shasum.digest('hex');
            console.log(d);
        });

    });

});

The second console.log gives different checksums every time a PDF is generated. Copied blah.pdf to meh.pdf on first run, and compared the next generated pdf with previous one using diff, the generated files are different, even the filesizes are slightly different, blah.pdf 61,197, yet meh.pdf is 61,195.

Hey I'm playing around with the library, and was wondering if it's possible to pass in a buffer object to the read method or if it needs to a pdf file.

Could you please share your thoughts on making the generated PDF readonly. In my use case - I cannot let users edit the auto-generated pdf - Thank you!

Now since the upgrade to 5, the application won't build. I just get failure on NPM install:

make: Entering directory '/app/node_modules/pdf-fill-form/build'
CXX(target) Release/obj.target/pdf_fill_form/src/pdf-fill-form.o

compilation terminated. The image I'm using already has updated to qt5, but attempting to do the install for pdf-fill-form dies per the above

I have an issue trying install npm module

My Steps

1. $ brew update
2. $ brew install qt5 cairo poppler --with-qt5
3. $ brew linkapps qt5
4. $ brew link --force qt5

Up to this point no errors install, but when I try install npm module

$ npm install pdf-fill-form

Extra info:

MacOs: Sierra 10.12
NODE version: v6.3.0

In several use cases, you already have the file loaded in memory. It doesn't make sense to save that to a tmp file and then load that into pdf-fill-form. It would be a lot more convenient if we could do something like:

pdfFillForm.read(buffer)
// or
pdfFillForm.write(buffer, { field1: val, field2: val }, { save: 'pdf' })

Issue:
I am building a simple test application pdf-fill-form but cannot get the npm install pdf-fill-form to work

Steps to reproduce:

1. ng new test-pdf-fill-form

cd test-pdf-fill-form

2. brew:

Thank you for your consideration.

Hey,

Sorry to bother you but could you tag a new version for npm ?

Thanks a lot,
Fabrice.

I'm generating a pdf form inside a node:7 docker container and the result, when viewed on Windows and even in my Mac's Quick look window and file thumbnail (see image), is that all fields that have been filled are rendered as black boxes.

This doesn't occur when I run the app on my own mac, only in the docker container. Any idea what could be causing this behaviour?

This looks like a problem with the nan module. I've seen several other modules face a similar error.

Hi, I was trying to install the module through npm on Linux precise 64, and I got the following errors:

../src/NodePoppler.cc: In function 'QBuffer* writePdfFields(WriteFieldsParams)':

I am getting an error while npm install pdf-fill-form on my mac.
I installed using homebrew so not sure what I am missing here.

I get the fields and it looks like this:

{ name: 'form1[0].#subform[0].Line2b_GivenName[0]',
       page: 0,
       value: '',
       id: 65540,
       type: 'text' }

But if I use

let result = await pdf.write( source, {
  'form1[0].#subform[0].Line2b_GivenName[0]': 'senica'
}, {save: 'pdf'});

It does not fill in the form. I've tried several different fields. No errors are thrown and the returned pdf (after I save the result) is able to be opened just fine. It's just not filled in.

I've attached a test file I'm using.

Any thoughts?

I have a pdf in landscape orientation, when I fill a field the text results rotated by -90 deg.
test123.pdf

I can find poppler-form.h in /usr/local/Cellar/poppler/0.42.0/include/poppler/qt4/poppler-form.h
but get the following errors when doing the 'npm install pdf-fill-form'.
Any suggestions?

Maybe this is silly, but i can´t pass an array of filled fields when writing the pdf with the .write functions.

I've tried doing this:

pdfFillForm.writeSync('someFile.pdf', [ { 'nameField': 'value' }, { 'nameField2': 'value2' } ], { 'save': 'pdf' });

Any tips?

Awesome library, btw!

I'm trying to install in a Docker container and am receiving this error message regardless of anything I tried.

I am using:

OS X El Capitan 10.11.5
NodeJS v4.5.0
npm 2.15.9

Dependencies installed using brew install qt4 cairo poppler --with-qt4. Same error occured before and after these installed.

Is there anyway to make the filled pdf not read only after being filled? Blank form fields cannot be filled in after using pdf-form-fill is there anything that can be done to fix this?

I am trying to fill some forms on a pdf, as a note I have used both Hummus (another pdf library) and now trying to use this module to fill the form, I was able to successfully read the fields however when trying to write to it I get "Error: Invalid XRef entry", researching this error gave me some hints that the file may be damaged however it opens up and fills properly using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
I've attached the pdf file here fw4.pdf and my code is:

var formValues = { 'topmostSubform[0].Page3[0].f3_18[0]': 'Hello'};

pdfFillForm.write('./sample-forms/fw4.pdf', formValues, { "save": "pdf", 'cores': 4, 'scale': 0.2, 'antialias': true } )
.then(function(result) {
      fs.writeFile("Test.pdf", result, function(err) {
           if(err) {
	      return console.log('Yo: ', err);
           }
	  console.log("The file was saved!");
      });
}, function(err) {
     console.log('Um: ', err);
});

Rendered text is too big for the container fields, and all the written characters are not visible. Is there a parameter I can pass into the writeAsync function that lowers the font size (and other characteristics like bolding, type, etc.)? In addition, is there a way to just overlay the text on the field instead of trying to fit it properly?

I saw that it was suggested to install poppler-data for better font support, but can't find anything elaborating on that. Thanks

UPDATE: I get the same error on: https://runkit.com/npm/pdf-fill-form . If you try to read the test.pdf it gives the same error:

Error: Cannot find module '/app/available_modules/1488224754000/pdf-fill-form/lib/../build/default/pdf_fill_form'

So I am receiving this Warning/Error. They're both identical so I am copying the warning here. I removed the beginning of the file paths and started them at the node_modules folder:

When I look in the build folder there is no Debug or default file? Have I missed a step in the installation?

I'd be interested in using pdf-fill-form for filling out a form and then saving the result as a regular, non-form pdf. The result would be the same as filling out the form by hand and then printing to a file. Converting to an image is much too heavyweight.

Qt4 has been deprecated in macOS Sierra. Sierra only supports qt5.

This is an excellent library! Just used it and it works great..

I would like to have this library handle filling in the digital/electronic signatures fields as well.

I ended up using a workaround by converting to html adding signature then converting back to PDF

anyway thanks again!! also this isnt really an issue but just a request.. couldnt find a spot to do that.

When running this command: brew install qt5 cairo poppler --with-qt5 I get the error:

Error: invalid option: --with-qt5

Is there a new version of something that doesn't like this flag? I'm not able to install the module without passing this, as the npm install complains about not being able to find the required frameworks.

Hi,

is there a way to flatten a pdf with this library?

Hi,
The script runs fine in command mode:
$ node show.js

But when I bundle modules with
$ browserify show.js > show-b.js

And then insert into html:
<!doctype html>

I get the following errors in console:

Error: Cannot find module '/lib/../build/Release/pdf_fill_form'
at o (show-b.js:1)

Any help here is much appreciated.

Hello,

I installed pdf-fill-form successfully on my ubuntu development machine. I'm trying to put my application into production on Heroku. I used the apt buildpack to install the apt dependencies (libpoppler-qt4-dev
and libcairo2-dev). When the node buildpack tries to build my app I get this error:

make: Entering directory `/tmp/build_f8d86dbb1672baf3914371f99bf0566f/node_modules/pdf-fill-form/build'

remote: ../src/NodePoppler.h:5:26: fatal error: QtCore/QBuffer: No such file or directory
remote: #include <QtCore/QBuffer>
remote: ^
remote: compilation terminated.

If you can give me some hint on how to get out of this problem, I would appreciate it a lot.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Some PDF fields need to adhere to a specific format. For example, if you manually try to enter to a field, Adobe Reader may yell The value entered does not match the format of the field = "99 99 99". This format can be anything, so it's impossible to hardcode in the code.

At the moment, pdf-fill-form just enters whatever string you provide to it to the pdf, and it's not formatted. However, when you enter it manually via Adobe Reader, it gets automatically formatted -- spaces are added automatically.
