The Ortus PDF Lucee Extension adds to any Lucee engine the missing PDF capabilities you were longing for and enhancing some PDF capabilities as well. The extension contains several new CFML built-in tags and functions that will help you manipulate and work with PDF documents.

Implemented Tags:

• cfpdfform
• cfpdfformparam

The Ortus PDF Lucee Extension will allow you to do PDF manipulation like prefilling PDF form fields from a database, native CFML structures, JSON, FDF and even XML data. It can also process PDF form data by extracting to native CFML structures, XML, JSON, FDF or files. It can also flatten PDF files to lock in PDF form changes and much more. Please see our capabilities section for much more detail about our features.

Populate Using Sub Tags

Populate Using Native CFML Structs

            data = {
                "full_name" = "Ortus Rocks",
                "exam_date" = "#dateFormat( now(), "mmmm dd, yyyy")# #timeFormat( now(), "medium")#",
                "strategy_overview" = "Drink a lot of water!",
                "strategy_tips"	= "Eat a lot of cheese!"
            };
            pdfform 
                action="populate" 
                source="#datapath#/report.pdf" 
                overwrite="true"
                overwriteData="true"
                structData=data
                flatten="true";
            
            

Populate Using JSON

            jsonData = '{
                "full_name"	: "Ortus Rocks",
                "exam_date"	: "#dateFormat( now(), "mmmm dd, yyyy")# #timeFormat( now(), "medium")#",
                "strategy_overview" : "Drink a lot of water!",
                "strategy_tips" : "Eat a lot of cheese!"
            }';
            pdfform 
                action="populate" 
                source="#datapath#/report.pdf" 
                overwrite="true"
                overwriteData="true"
                jsonData="#jsonData#"
                flatten="true";
            

Reading a PDF Form

            pdfform 
                action="read"
                source="#dataPath#/report.pdf"
                result="formData"
                jsonData="jsonData";
            // Native Struct
            writeDump( formData );
            // JSON Data
            writeDump( jsonData );
