Allow PDF to create PDF forms
Would be awesome to be able to create a fillable input (https://github.com/bpampuch/pdfmake/issues/156 is from a pdf form, I'm talking about creating the input...)
Some pdf have input forms, I would like to be able to add such input to a document so you can generate fillable forms. Is it clearer?
How's that dufferent from #156?

The first sentence says it all: "I'm looking to generate a pdf from an existing pdf "template""! I'm not looking to fill templates but to create them! Not fill the inputs but create them...
OK, understood. So this is a pre-requisite to #156.
I would lift up your hopes that it is coming soon, because we don't have the capability to do it in pdfkit. See devongovett/pdfkit#227
If you need it, try to help building it in pdfkit first and then enable it here. Happy to help with pull requests.
It seems that PDFKit is almost supporting AcroForms... https://github.com/foliojs/pdfkit/pull/1002
I guess we can start to think of supporting it on pdfmake now? I can volunteer myself for implementing it as it seems to be a requirement for my current project.
I'd also be interested in support for generating PDF forms via the nice declarative syntax of pdfmake.
@gwdp Any updates on this one? Were you able to embed fillable forms in a PDF file?
Looks like this feature is not in pdfmake yet. Does anyone have a workaround to this issue?
It looks like there's a pull request that's ready for merge, @shash7 . Don't know if/when that'll happen, though.
