additional information:

• the fields of pdf following: name, address, dropdown1, dropdown2, dropdown3, check box4, check box1, check box3, check box2, text5, button7, text6, group6, %
• i tried filling 1 field:

pdftk.fill_form 'sample_pdf.pdf', 'sample_pdf_filled.pdf', {["name"]=>"value inserted"}

the result: have pdf "sample_pdf_filled.pdf", cannot open, because it's empty. thought problem form-filling, seems, pdf not created correctly.

note: working on mac (unix)

has solution?

method #fill_form defined this:

 def fill_form(template, destination, data = {}, fill_options = {}) 

you example produce this:

irb(main):001:0> { ['value name'] => 'value inserted' }                                                                                    => {["value name"]=>"value inserted"}       

the data supposed hash. if want specify key space can use this: :'value name'.

irb(main):002:0> { :'value name' => 'value inserted' }                                                                                     => {:"value name"=>"value inserted"}
