This allows the +values to be saved and reused. The TOML file can also be manipulated by +external programs to calculate or fill in values in an interoperable format +without having to directly manipulate the PDF. + +First, generate the TOML file with: + + $ formurapid --generate a-form.pdf + +This will produce two files: 'a-form-ids.pdf' and 'a-form.toml'. The IDs PDF +includes text fields filled in with their corresponding ID. The TOML file +associates values with field IDs. + +Once the TOML file is generated and stored in the same directory as +'a-form.pdf', the form can be filled in with: + + $ formurapid --fill a-form.pdf + +The above command generates a file 'a-form-filled.pdf', a version of +'a-form.pdf' with form fields filled using the values in 'a-form.toml'.
