description	Use this skill to identify, extract, and populate specific fields within a PDF form using the pdftk or pikepdf toolsets.

To fill a PDF form programmatically:

1. Identify Field Names: Use pdftk /root/sc100-blank.pdf dump_data_fields to list all available form fields and their current values.
2. Prepare Data: Create a data mapping of the field names found in the previous step to the values provided in the case description (e.g., Plaintiff Name, Defendant Address, Claim Amount).
3. Populate: Use pdftk /root/sc100-blank.pdf fill_form data.fdf output /root/sc100-filled.pdf or an equivalent Python library like pypdf to inject the data.
4. Verification: Always inspect the output file to ensure that long strings (like addresses) are not truncated and that formatting (like date strings) matches the required format (YYYY-MM-DD).
