Fill Acrobat forms easily using pure PHP ! 💪

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 7.1.0

Install :
---------

[](#install-)

```
$ composer require ghostfly/pdf-forms-filler

```

Example :
---------

[](#example-)

- clone repository
- go to example folder
- composer install
- run [index.php](https://github.com/Ghostfly/PDFFormsFiller/blob/master/example/index.php)

Usage :
-------

[](#usage-)

You need to do a PDF Form with Acrobat, and the string to convert is given by this page :

[Find Form Field coordinates](https://www.setasign.com/products/setapdf-core/demos/find-form-field-coordinates/)

Use Converter who gives you a JSON Array containing fields with locations / page, in a form usable by the Generator

```
$converter = new Converter($string);
$converter->getPagesWithFieldsCount();
$json = $converter->formatFieldsAsJson($pages);

echo json;

```

Use PDF Generator with one array containing every field with id -> value And one array containing every field with id -> llx, lly, urx, ury, page

```
$pdfGenerator = new PDFGenerator($coords, $data, 'P', 'pt', 'A4');
$pdfGenerator->start($original, $dest);

```

If your original PDF is not handled by fpdf, you can convert it using this service :

[Convert PDF](https://docupub.com/pdfconvert/) with "Acrobat 4.0 (PDF 1.3)"

Don't care about form fields on file to send to generator, the locations are determined using the latest PDF format.

If you need a full example : [index.php](https://github.com/Ghostfly/PDFFormsFiller/blob/master/example/index.php).
