- In this episode of Unscripted Coding, we check out a few options to fill out PDFs with JavaScript. What does it take to have a Web UI to accept various inputs, then throw them back into a standard, boring PDF file? Watch and find out!
Unscripted Coding is entirely unscripted and organic. If you're looking for a tutorial, you're in the wrong place! What we do here is try and build something from scratch, filled with all the mistakes and lessons learned along the way!

Do you have a copy of this code online somewhere. I am stepping through this by rewinding and fast forwarding after watching the whole video to take snippets.
Great video btw!
No problem. Didn't think this was worth uploading, but I just added it to my GitHub: github.com/AnsonLai/PDF-Filler-Demo
great explanation dude. is this possible to add signature to this fillable pdf?
great video 👍🏻. I am curious about one thing tho, lets says if a pdf doesn't have fillable fields, is there an option to tackle situation? also what if the user had to sign? Would appreciate your reply.
Hey there, both of these get tricky. For non fillable fields, you'll use the same libraries but basically overlay on top of coordinates, not bad, but you'll have to know your PDF very well. For signatures, you'll likely want to use something like DocuSign's python SDK. Haven't ever used it before, but I wouldn't recommend using a library that isn't from a big eSignature provider.
@@UnscriptedCoding Thanks for the reply. I was making a personal project that would allow user to sign stuff and edit like you showed. Are you saying to use a "big eSginature provider" for legal purposes?
@@khizershareef5076 Ah yes I am. If you want something legally binding that's solid, I'd rather go with DocuSign or Adobe Sign. If it's just a hobby project, then no matter!
