Converting to PDF with fillable form fields

Converting to PDF with fillable form fields

[Alan Welsh]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 696 bytes --]

Greetings,

Is there any way for Pandoc to convert HTML (or Markdown) into PDFs whose 
forms are fillable/editable?

The program *wkhtmltopdf* can do it from HTML when the command line option 
*--enable-forms* is passed.

Is there any way for Pandoc to do something like this?

Thanks

You can use wkhtmltopdf to produce PDF with pandoc with the options
--pdf-engine=wkhtmltopdf --to=html -o mydoc.pdf

https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#option--pdf-engine

https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#variables-for-wkhtmltopdf

The question is how well you would fare to get the forms source into the
Markdown source except with (huge) raw HTML blocks.

Wouldn't this additionally need this pandoc option to pass --enable-forms
to wkhtmltopdf?

--pdf-engine-opt="--enable-forms"

Re: Converting to PDF with fillable form fields
