PDF Form Filler Skill (Round 2)

This skill addresses XFA/complex PDF form challenges by using FreeText annotations for field population.

Usage

When field-based filling (via update_page_form_field_values) fails due to XFA structure or non-standard forms, utilize annotation-based filling.

Steps

1. Identify fields manually or via get_fields().
2. Map fields to visual page coordinates.
3. Use a script to overlay text using FreeText annotations.
4. Execute via the scripts/fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py utility.

Example

# Create a JSON configuration mapping pages, bounding boxes, and field values.
# Use the annotation script:
# python scripts/fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py input.pdf fields.json output.pdf
