.SH "NAME"
formurapid \- Fill in a PDF form using a text file
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fIformurapid\fR [options] (\-\-generate | \-\-fill) \fIpdf_file\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Fill in a PDF form based on the values in a TOML text file\&. 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\&.
.sp
First, generate the TOML file with:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ formurapid \-\-generate a\-form\&.pdf
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
This will produce two files: \fIa\-form\-ids\&.pdf\fR and \fIa\-form\&.toml\fR\&. The IDs PDF includes text fields filled in with their corresponding ID\&. The TOML file associates values with field IDs\&.
.sp
Once the TOML file is generated and stored in the same directory as \fIa\-form\&.pdf\fR, the form can be filled in with:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ formurapid \-\-fill a\-form\&.pdf
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
The above command generates a file \fIa\-form\-filled\&.pdf\fR, a version of \fIa\-form\&.pdf\fR with form fields filled using the values in \fIa\-form\&.toml\fR\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-\-fill
.RS 4
Fill in the input form based on a TOML file with the same file name stem in the same directory\&. The TOML file is generated with the
\fI\-\-generate\fR
argument\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-generate
.RS 4
Generate a TOML file to fill in the form as well as a copy of the PDF with IDs filled into the text fields\&.
.RE
.PP
\-h, \-\-help
.RS 4
Print usage help\&.
.RE
.PP
\-V, \-\-version
