PyPDFForm is a Python library and CLI tool for creating, inspecting, styling, and filling PDF forms, along with common PDF utilities like page extraction and merging. It is distributed on PyPI with an optional CLI extra installable via pipx.

Use cases

  • fill pdf forms programmatically
  • fill out a pdf form from the command line
  • create pdf forms with python
  • inspect pdf form fields and values
  • merge pdf files
  • extract pages from a pdf
  • style pdf form fields

When to choose

  • you need to automate filling AcroForm PDF fields in Python
  • you want a CLI for one-off PDF form filling
  • you need form creation, inspection, and merging in one lightweight MIT-licensed package

When to avoid

  • you need to parse or extract arbitrary text from PDFs
  • you need to fill XFA-based forms or heavily scanned documents
  • you need OCR or PDF conversion features
