Install instructions

LibraryCLI

It is highly recommended to create a virtual environment before installation. Then, run the following command to install the PyPDFForm library:

pip install PyPDFForm

The CLI is packaged as the optional cli extra. For command-line use, pipx is recommended because it installs the command in an isolated environment and makes it available on your PATH:

pipx install "PyPDFForm[cli]"

After installation, run the following command to verify the CLI version:

pypdfform --version
