Fill Data In Existing PDF Form Using NodeJS

Question

The issue is that I already have a PDF form (*.pdf) that has to be filled out.

How can I use Node JS to dynamically populate it?

Answer 1

Check out the following modules on npm:

• fill-pdf
• pdffiller
• pdf-fill-form
• node-pdffiller
• pdfkit

The node-pdffilleris a wrapper for PDFtk, the PDF Toolkit:

• https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/

There's a lot of good documentation on the website of PDFKit:

• http://pdfkit.org/

Those modules have different features and API. You should find something that suits your needs.

There's also an article:
