angularjs - Fill pdf form with javascript (client-side only)

Question

I need to fill a pdf form automatically in my angularjs webapp. The pdf form is generated outside the app so I can configure it as I want.

In my app, I just need to load the pdf, modify the form fields and flatten the file so it doesn't look like a form anymore.

Do you know any way to do it?

Edit: I've found iText but it's a java library which won't work for my project (the app runs on tablets so I'm looking for something 100% HTML5)

Answer 1

There is now another solution that worked for me.
It's this JS package: https://github.com/phihag/pdfform.js
Also available on NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/pdfform.js

If you have troubles opening your PDF files, the best bet is to use the mozilla's PDF.js library which works with every PDF files I tried.
The only drawback as of today is that it's not working as expected with webpack. You have to import the JS files with a script tag.
