I'll explain my problem: I have a PDF that is generated using ADOBE READER DC PRO and, on each page, there is a signature field (for digital signature) that will be signed later by the user. My problem is that I should be able to fill the PDF with data by opening it and replacing certain placeholders. I've checked everything online but haven't found a suitable solution: do you have any ideas?

Thank you very much for helping.

  • There are some pdf parsers out there, like: https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf or http://www.fpdf.org/. Very identical question was asked here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7364/pdf-editing-in-php – xtothea Aug 25 '20 at 16:53

    *"fill the PDF with data by opening it and replacing certain placeholders"* - depending on how those place holders are created this can be more or less difficult. It is definitively a sign of a bad software design. You might want to ask your employer / project lead / client if one could use form fields instead of those placeholders. – mkl Aug 25 '20 at 17:05
