Decide what success means
Compare the inventory with required inputs and inspect field types. A field name alone does not tell you which values are valid for the form’s business rules.
Prepare and run
Use the exact form revision expected by the job. A redesigned form can retain familiar labels while changing its field structure.
These examples use local sample filenames. Substitute your own paths and check jetformat pdf fields --help against the installed version before running the task. Put paths containing spaces inside quotes.
jetformat pdf fields form.pdfRead the field inventory before creating the data for pdf fill. A drawn line or box in a scanned form is not necessarily an interactive PDF field.
Inspect the saved result
Check exact field names and types; if the list is empty, do not invent field names from visual labels.
Scope and repeatability
This is a free utility or read operation. It does not need a paid conversion to inspect the result.
Run jetformat pdf fields --help to compare options with your installed version.
See the pdf command reference for the surrounding workflow.
Keep the input revision with the result so a later reviewer can reproduce the decision. For a write operation, choose a new output path first; use overwrite flags only when replacing a previously reviewed result is intentional.
