I work at a company that has a pretty comprehensive suite of PDF templates we fill out, so if you want some feedback from someone who would have been a perfect customer 3 years ago:
The biggest thing that costs us time is schema validation. We ended up building a tool that rejects uploads if the text fields don't match, or if you forget to include a radio option, etc. It also has "recommended" fields which issue warnings if they are not implemented.
Radio options, checkboxes, and images (for signatures) would be a welcome addition that I didn't see in the editor.
The documentation / online demo doesn't make it clear how I would go from fields -> API access (because how do I name the fields?).
[append]
An API endpoint to get the unfilled PDF template would also be good, especially if bundled with a client library that handled the call to pdftk. Some of our documents are HIPAA and I don't want to deal with having the client data leave our machines.
- mariusz331 9y agoThis is great feedback. I really like your ideas on schema validation. We faced a similar problem at my last company and I have some thoughts to improve it with PDF Otter. Thank you!
