# Desired Function

**Goal**: Take data from firebase database / generated data and auto-fill the Deutsche Bahn claim form:
https://cms.static-bahn.de/wmedia/redaktion/aushaenge/fahrgastrechte/Fahrgastrechte-Formular_deutsch-feb25-2.pdf

### Requirements:

**No User Interaction**: The process should happen programmatically in the background.

**Output**: Generated PDFs should be saved to firebase storage / user download / send per mail (not important)

# The Research Task

Is the desired Task possible?
If you open the db form in the browser, you can see the fields that can be filled out.
The idea is tp take the data in some list and this kind of pdf, and then created pdfs that are filled out, (and give them to the user in some way).

It is only for this specific pdf. Not any pdf.

**Questions**:

How to fill out pdfs in React?
is there like a framework/ an library / an native option to do this easily?
or is this too hard / will take too much time?

Or maybe is this something firebase should do / already has etc.

Time estimate: 2 hours
