A simple, minimalist toolkit for filling out PDF forms, and extracting PDF data in iOS, that extends the Apple native PDFKit'sPDFView and theCoreGraphics PDF C API.

• Parse and analyze PDF documents with easy API.
• Fill out and save PDF AcroForms to a flat non-editable PDF.
• Handle text, button and combo fields.
• Easy introspection using PDFDocument, PDFPage, PDFDictionary and PDFArray.
• Rapidly, parse, extract and analyze PDF document structure, data and properties.
• Handle signature fields.
• Save AcroForm values to the original, editable PDF.
• Comprehensive Unit and Integration Test Coverage
• Swift Documentation

Then, run the following command:pod install

To integrate ILPDFKit into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in yourCartfile:

github "derekblair/ILPDFKit"

Runcarthage update to build the framework and drag the builtILPDFKit.framework into your Xcode project.

The quickest way to get started with ILPDFKit is to take a look at the included sample app. For example, to view a PDF form resource named 'test.pdf' you can do the following:

letdocument=ILPDFDocument(resource:"myPDF")// Manually set a form valuedocument.forms.setValue("Derek", forFormWithName:"Contacts.FirstName")// Save via a static PDF.letflatPDF= document.savedStaticPDFData()

ILPDFKit currently supports a narrow range of PDF versions and is not suitable for a production app that needs to save general PDF files from versions 1.3 to 1.7

PDF features that cause issues with saving include:

1. Linearized PDF files (Linearization is broken after save. File will open correctly using WKWebView, Preview, and Chrome but Adobe reader fails)

2. Object Streams (This library can not currently save fields stored in object streams, introduced in PDF 1.5 , files that use object streams are sometimes referred to as compressed files as object streams can compress PDF objects in the file).

pdfViewController=ILPDFViewController(resource:"test.pdf")window.rootViewController= pdfViewController// Have fun filling out the form.

forformin pdfViewController.document.forms{// GetletformValue= form.value;letformName= form.name; // Fully qualified field name.// Setform.value="foo";// If the form is visible on screen it will updated automatically.// You can access the actual associated widget annotation view as below.// let widgetView = form.associatedWidget()}

All fields are easily custom styled.
