Hello,
I am working on this package using laravel.
this is my code.
$file = public_path('pdf-form.pdf');
$pdf = new Pdf($file);

$data = $pdf->getDataFields(false);

i got this error every time
"Failed without error message: pdftk "A"="D:\xampp\htdocs\laravel\myproject\public\pdf-form.pdf" dump_data_fields (Exit code: 1)"

It seems you are on Windows and did not configure the path to pdftk.exe. Check the README: https://github.com/mikehaertl/php-pdftk#shell-command

Sorry, I can not help you with that. You need to find out yourself how to install pdftk on your target system. Please understand that this is not a support forum but a system to report bugs.
