formalpdf 0.1.0

An Apache-licensed package for extracting, creating, filling, and flattening PDF Forms.

formalpdf

formalpdf is an Apache-licensed python library for PDF forms. It's a unified API for extracting, creating, filling, and flattening forms. It has a similar, but not drop-in, high-level API to PyMuPDF. All of this is possible by wrapping pdfium, thanks to the low-level bindings made available through pypdfium2.

Installation

uv pip install formalpdf

Usage

Get All Widget Objects in a PDF

doc = Document("/path/to/your.pdf")

for page in doc:
    widgets = page.widgets()

Navigating Unsupported Operations

You can access the raw PdfDocument from pypdfium2 using by calling:

doc = Document("/path/to/your.pdf")

pdfium_doc = doc.document

You can use this to do lower-level operations that aren't yet supported by formalpdf.

Roadmap

• create PyPI package
• finish widget extraction
• widget updating
• widget creation
• tests
