# Generate PDFs from a PDF form in iOS

With Nutrient, you can generate PDF files from a PDF form.

### Filling PDF form fields  on iOS

Nutrient iOS SDK fully supports the AcroForm standard, and forms can be viewed and filled inside the [`PDFViewController`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/ios/documentation/pspdfkitui/pdfviewcontroller).

For more information on filling PDF form fields programmatically, see [our guide](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/ios/forms/form-filling.md).

### Flattening form fields  on iOS

Form elements in a PDF document can be flattened in the Nutrient UI by sharing (exporting) the document and choosing the **Flatten Annotations** option. They can also be flattened programmatically using the [`Processor`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/ios/documentation/pspdfkit/processor) class.

For more information on flattening form fields, see [our guide](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/ios/forms/flatten.md).
