SetaPDF-FormFiller Fill in existing PDF forms with PHP

Edit PDF form field values in PHP

The SetaPDF-FormFiller component allows PHP developers to fill in or edit existing PDF form fields (also known as AcroForms) values and XFA forms with dynamic data.

The PHP component also supports access to several field properties, individual appearance creation, deletion and flattening of form fields (not dynamic XFA forms). The flattening process also supports updating the tag structure for keeping conformance with e.g. PDF/UA.

Supported Field Types

• Text fields
• Text fields with multiple lines
• Radio buttons
• Check boxes
• Scrollable list boxes
• Scrollable list boxes with multiple options
• Combo boxes
• Combo boxes with an editable text box
• Signature fields (only access to widget annotation and flatten function)
• Button fields (only access to widget annotation and flatten function)

We offer this component in a lite version, which is limited to "Text fields" and "Text fields with multiple lines".
