PDF Form Filler (Hackathon)

Why

We are trying to automate some of our daily tasks. One of them is filling out immigration PDF forms. We need to be able to fill out a specific PDF form using data from our database.

What

We would like to be able to fill out a PDF form automatically and generate a new version with all its fields filled out.

Recommendations:

• You can use any programming language to accomplish this task;

• You’re free to use any 3rd party API/library, but you must include all detailed info about it;

• You must include detailed information about how to run your project.

Output:

• The same PDF with some data filled in
