+# PDF Integration Guide
+
+This document describes how the STUPA PDF API integrates with LaTeX templates to generate and process PDF forms.
+
+## Overview
+
+The STUPA PDF API system works with two types of funding application forms:
+- **QSM** (Qualitätssicherungsmittel) - Quality assurance funding
+- **VSM** (Verfasste Studierendenschaft Mittel) - Student body funding
+
+## LaTeX Templates
+
+### Repository Structure
+
+The LaTeX templates are maintained in a separate Git repository and integrated as a submodule:
+- Repository: `git@git.beimgraben.net:frederik/PA_Vorlage.git`
+- Location: `/backend/latex-templates/`
+
+### Branch Organization
+
+Different form types are maintained in separate branches:
+- `v1.2/QSM` - QSM application forms
+- `v1.2/VSM` - VSM application forms
+- `v1.2/VGL` - VGL forms (deprecated, not used)
+
+### Working with Templates
+
+The project uses Git worktrees to access multiple template versions simultaneously:
+
+```bash
+# Templates are checked out to:
+/backend/latex-qsm/  # QSM templates (branch: v1.2/QSM)
+/backend/latex-vsm/  # VSM templates (branch: v1.2/VSM)
+```
+
+## PDF Generation Workflow
+
+### 1. Template Compilation
+
+LaTeX templates are compiled to PDF using XeLaTeX:
+
+```bash
+# Build PDFs from LaTeX sources
+./scripts/build-pdfs.sh
+```
+
+This script:
+- Sets up Git worktrees for QSM and VSM branches
+- Compiles LaTeX to PDF using `latexmk -xelatex`
+- Copies generated PDFs to `/backend/assets/`
+
+### 2. Form Field Mapping
+
+The system uses pre-compiled PDFs with form fields:
+- `/backend/assets/qsm.pdf` - QSM form template
+- `/backend/assets/vsm.pdf` - VSM form template
+
+These PDFs contain named form fields that correspond to the application data structure.
+
+### 3. PDF Processing Pipeline
+
+```
+User uploads PDF → Parse form data → Store in database → Generate filled PDF
+```
+
+## LaTeX Template Structure
+
+### Main Components
+
+```
+Main.tex                 # Main document file
+Content/
+├── 01_content.tex      # Form content and fields
+└── 99_glossary.tex     # Glossary definitions
+HSRTReport/             # Custom document class
+TeX/
+├── Preamble.tex        # Package imports and settings
+└── Settings/           # Configuration files
+```
+
+### Form Fields
+
+LaTeX form fields are defined using custom commands:
+
+```latex
+\CustomTextFieldDefault{pa-project-name}{}{Projektname}{width=\linewidth}
+\CustomChoiceMenuDefault{pa-course}{}{width=\linewidth,default=-}{-,INF,ESB,LS,TEC,TEX,NXT}
+\CheckBox[name=pa-qsm-studierende,width=1em,height=1em]{}
+```
+
+Field naming convention: `pa-` prefix followed by the field identifier.
+
+## Docker Integration
+
+### Build Requirements
+
+The Docker image includes all necessary LaTeX packages:
+
+```dockerfile
+RUN apt-get install -y \
+    texlive-full \
+    texlive-xetex \
+    texlive-lang-german \
+    texlive-fonts-extra \
+    latexmk \
+    git
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```env
+# PDF template paths
+QSM_TEMPLATE=/app/assets/qsm.pdf
+VSM_TEMPLATE=/app/assets/vsm.pdf
+
+# LaTeX source paths
+LATEX_QSM_PATH=/app/latex-qsm
+LATEX_VSM_PATH=/app/latex-vsm
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### 1. Modifying Templates
+
+To modify PDF templates:
+
+1. Navigate to the appropriate worktree:
+   ```bash
+   cd backend/latex-qsm  # or latex-vsm
+   ```
+
+2. Edit the LaTeX files
+
+3. Build the PDF:
+   ```bash
+   ./scripts/build-pdfs.sh
+   ```
+
+4. Test the new PDF with the application
+
+### 2. Adding New Form Fields
+
+1. Add field definition in LaTeX:
+   ```latex
+   \CustomTextFieldDefault{pa-new-field}{}{Field Label}{width=\linewidth}
+   ```
+
+2. Update the field mapping in `pdf_field_mapping.py`
+
+3. Add corresponding database fields if needed
+
+4. Rebuild the PDF template
+
+### 3. Testing PDF Generation
+
+```bash
+# Test PDF generation in Docker
+docker compose exec api python -c "
+from pdf_filler import fill_pdf
+# Test code here
+"
+```
+
+## Field Mapping Reference
+
+### Common Fields (Both QSM and VSM)
+
+| LaTeX Field | Database Field | Description |
+|-------------|----------------|-------------|
+| `pa-applicant-type` | `applicantType` | Person or Institution |
+| `pa-institution` | `institution` | Institution name |
+| `pa-first-name` | `firstName` | Applicant first name |
+| `pa-last-name` | `lastName` | Applicant last name |
+| `pa-email` | `email` | Contact email |
+| `pa-phone` | `phone` | Phone number |
+| `pa-project-name` | `name` | Project name |
+
+### QSM-Specific Fields
+
+| LaTeX Field | Database Field | Description |
+|-------------|----------------|-------------|
+| `pa-qsm-*` | Various | QSM-specific checkboxes |
+| `pa-cost-*` | `costs[].name/amountEur` | Cost positions |
+
+### VSM-Specific Fields
+
+| LaTeX Field | Database Field | Description |
+|-------------|----------------|-------------|
+| `pa-vsm-*` | Various | VSM-specific fields |
+| `pa-financing-*` | `financing.*` | Financing options |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **PDF build fails with XeLaTeX error**
+   - Ensure all LaTeX dependencies are installed
+   - Check for syntax errors in .tex files
+   - Verify fonts are available
+
+2. **Form fields not filling**
+   - Check field names match between LaTeX and mapping
+   - Verify PDF has form fields (use PDF reader)
+   - Check data types match expected format
+
+3. **Git worktree errors**
+   - Remove existing worktrees: `git worktree prune`
+   - Re-run setup script
+
+### Debugging Commands
+
+```bash
+# List form fields in PDF
+docker compose exec api python -c "
+import PyPDF2
+with open('/app/assets/qsm.pdf', 'rb') as f:
+    pdf = PyPDF2.PdfReader(f)
+    fields = pdf.get_form_text_fields()
+    for name, value in fields.items():
+        print(f'{name}: {value}')
+"
+
+# Check LaTeX compilation log
+cd backend/latex-qsm
+cat Main.log
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Version Control**
+   - Keep LaTeX templates in sync with main repo
+   - Tag releases when updating PDF templates
+   - Document field changes in commit messages
+
+2. **Testing**
+   - Test both empty and filled PDFs
+   - Verify all form fields are accessible
+   - Check PDF compatibility across readers
+
+3. **Performance**
+   - Pre-compile PDFs rather than generating on demand
+   - Cache compiled PDFs in Docker image
+   - Minimize LaTeX package dependencies
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Dynamic PDF Generation**
+   - Generate PDFs on-demand from LaTeX
+   - Support custom form layouts
+   - Template versioning system
+
+2. **Field Validation**
+   - Implement LaTeX-side validation
+   - Sync validation rules with frontend
+   - Generate field documentation from LaTeX
+
+3. **Multi-language Support**
+   - Internationalize LaTeX templates
+   - Support multiple PDF languages
+   - Dynamic language selection
