This is absolutely great and it will enable A LOT of very useful applications.
One question though: I assume that the automatic detection of form fields does not always work. Especially if the PDF does not exist in a “fillable" format. Am I right with that interpretation?
- robbiep 9y agoWebsite seems to suggest that non fillable/scanned forms can be programmed/mapped with fields
- nathan_f77 9y agoHi, at the moment we can only import fillable PDF forms (AcroForms or XFA.) In the future we might implement OCR and machine learning to automatically detect fields in scanned or photographed PDFs. I think it could also be useful to build an index of fillable PDF forms (e.g. from the IRS and UCSIS), and then use those original fillable PDFs whenever we detect a matching scanned form. We might also build a public database of fillable forms. But I don't want to build any of those features unless I have a customer who actually needs it. (Please send an email to hello@formapi.io if this is something you would use!)
