pdf-fdf-generator
=================

Generate PDF files containing forms, filled with values using FDF files and PDFtk for NodeJS.

I had some problems while building iconv as a sub-dependency, please try:

``bash
npm install --unsafe-perm
`

Test (informal), directly from package root directory:
`bash
user@server ~/pdf-fdf-generator $ coffee test/test.coffee
`

From test.coffee:

`coffeescript
fdfpdfGenerateContent = require('../lib/main').generateContent
fdfpdfGenerateFile = require('../lib/main').generateFile

dataForFile = [
{ alfa: 1, beta: 11 },
# { alfa: 2, beta: 22 },
# { alfa: 3, beta: 33 }
]

dataForContent = [
{ alfa: 1, beta: 11 },
{ alfa: 2, beta: 22 },
{ alfa: 3, beta: 33 }
]

fdfpdfGenerateFile "./test/sampleForm.pdf", dataForFile, "./test/sampleFilledForm.pdf", (error, output, filename)->
console.log "PPFF :: Finished processing file!"
console.log "PPFF :: error: ", error
console.log "PPFF :: output: ", output
console.log "PPFF :: filename: ", filename

fdfpdfGenerateContent "./test/sampleForm.pdf", dataForContent, (output)->
console.log "PPCC :: Finished processing contents!"
console.log "PPCC :: output: ", output

console.log "PPCC :: Finished Contents!"
`

Sample output from above example:

`text
PPCC :: Finished Contents!
[ { data: { alfa: 1, beta: 11 },
error: null,
stdout: '',
stderr: '',
fdf: 'fdf-2ab38191-c900-7b49-70cb-a4eacc94da5f.fdf',
pdf: 'pdf-2ab38191-c900-7b49-70cb-a4eacc94da5f.pdf' } ]
PPFF :: Finished processing file!
PPFF :: error: null
PPFF :: output:

[ { data: { alfa: 1, beta: 11 },

error: null,
stdout: '',
stderr: '',
fdf: 'fdf-d27c4fc9-fb07-e7fe-e569-0f913f65b365.fdf',

PPCC :: Finished processing contents!
PPCC :: output: ``
