View source for Addon:PDFForms

{{Third-party addon}}
{{man label|PDF Forms}} lets you turn genealogy data collection into a paper (or PDF) workflow: generate a blank, fillable PDF — a historical census form, a vital-record certificate, or an Ahnentafel pedigree chart — send it to a relative or use it yourself, then import the filled-in PDF straight back into your family tree with {{man menu|File -> Import}}. It adds one {{man menu|Tools -> Utilities}} tool, {{man label|Generate PDF Forms}}, and one importer that recognizes any PDF the tool produced.

{{man note|Both directions only work with Gramps-generated PDFs|The importer looks for a hidden marker field that {{man label|Generate PDF Forms}} embeds in every PDF it creates. It cannot read an arbitrary scanned or hand-made PDF — only a blank form generated by this addon and then filled in.}}
