FDF (Form Data Format) generator using JavaScript
npm install fdf.jsfdf.js
======
This is an FDF (Form Data Format) generator for Node.js.
FDF is a format you can use to populate Adobe PDF forms.
Installing
----------
`````
npm install fdf.js --save
Usage
-----
``javascript
var fdf = require('fdf.js')
, fs = require('fs');
var data = fdf.generate({
name: 'Batman',
type: 'Superhero'
});
fs.writeFile('data.fdf', data);
``
A typical way to use the resulting fdf is to auto-fill a PDF form:
`````
pdftk form.pdf fill_form data.fdf output
This will populate form.pdf with the values.

If you are passing in complex objects, they will be flatted when setting the FDF data names. See object-iron for more details.
