Hey HN!Last week, Joe Barrow released CommonForms [1], a set of open models for automatically detecting form fields in PDFs.He trained two models, FFDNet-S and FFDNet-L, on a dataset of 55k documents. You can read more about his approach in the arXiv paper [2].As someone who's been searching for reliable models to auto-detect form fields (one of the last hard problems in PDF form filling), I was seriously impressed by the quality of these models. I wanted to give them the attention and distribution they deserve, so I created a fully browser-based implementation that handles both detection and field addition.My implementation relies on his models and onnx runtime web + some post-processing.
