MODULE

  PDF::FDF::Simple - Read and write (Acrobat) FDF files.

ABOUT

  PDF::FDF::Simple helps creating and extracting FDF files. It is
  meant to be a simple replacement for the Adobe FdfToolkit when you
  just want to read or create fdf files.

  After the extraction process the content is available within a hash
  reference.

  For creating FDF files it currently only supports setting text
  values. Anyway, this should be enough to create fdf-files with text
  fields, text areas, checkboxes and radio buttons. See pod
  documentation.

SYNOPSIS

  my $fdf = new PDF::FDF::Simple ({ filename     => '/tmp/test.fdf' });
  $fdf->{content} = {
                      'name'                 => 'Fred Madison',
                      'organisation'         => 'Luna Lounge Ltd.',
                      'dotted.field.name'    => 'Hello world.',
                      'language.radio.value' => 'French',
                      'my.checkbox.value'    => 'On'   # 'On' / 'Off'
                    };
  $fdf->save or print $fdf->errmsg;
  my $fdfcontent = $fdf->load;
