Remove form fields from PDFs using JavaScript

You can programmatically remove any form field from a document using instance.delete(). This call will also remove the associated widget annotations. It’s also possible to edit form fields using the built-in user interface.

The following example finds and deletes a form field and its associated widget annotation:

const formFields = await instance.getFormFields();
const formField = formFields.find(
  (formField) => formField.name === "my form field"
);

if (!formField) {
  console.warn('Form field "my form field" not found');
  return;
}

await instance.delete(formField);
