tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-15
CommonForms is an open-source project that automatically converts static PDFs into fillable forms.
- Core Functionality: Uses FFDNet models to automatically detect form fields in PDFs, accessible via CLI and API.
- Models & Data: Includes FFDNet-S and FFDNet-L models, along with the CommonForms dataset hosted on HuggingFace.
- Installation: Recommends using uv or pipx for an isolated installation due to its heavy dependencies (transformers, torch, ultralytics, etc.).
- Use Case: Ideal for scenarios requiring batch digitization of documents.
