This repo contains a few things:

• scripts/get-pdfs.js - the script you'll edit and run to get PDFs back from Anvil.
• data/templates.json - the data you will use to locate the PDF template within Anvil, and the data to fill on each PDF.
• various tools/infrastructure to run the script. How to use it below!

You are given an array of objects containing all the data required to fillX number of PDFs.Each object includes:

• formsToFill: an array of PDF template IDs (Cast EIDs) used for filling PDFs via Anvil's Node.js client.
• Other fields: actual data to be filled into the PDF.

Your job is to write a script that performsthree tasks (order does not matter):

1. Fill all PDFs with all people’s data

   • Output: All generated PDFs should go in thepdfs folder.
   • File naming: Use the form title.Example: ForAcord 1, output aspdfs/Acord 1.pdf.

2. Fill only USPS 1583

   • Output: Place the result inpdfs as well.
   • File naming: Use the EID.Example:pdfs/<eid>.pdf.

3. Sort all forms by prevalence

   • Output format:

     {"eid":<number of references>,"anotherEid":<number of references>}

When you're ready to start coding, request an API key to interact with Anvil from your script.

• First5–10 min: Formulate your approach
• Next30–40 min: Implementation
• Last10–20 min: Review
• Lodash is available for utility functions.
• This exercise isnot about writing the best script ever.Focus on understanding the problem and communicating your decisions clearly.
