This is pretty impressive. Does it really have full support for filling pdf forms? Most PDF applications that I have tried (on Linux at least) have each more or less failed at that task.

Thanks! For PDF form filling, I use the APIs that pdf-lib [0] exposes. That includes text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns and options lists. Give it a try and let me know if you find a type of form field that's missing.
