On recent versions of OSX, pdftk may hang indefinitely. I ended up having to set up a Docker container (with node + pdftk) in order to begin developing on this at all.

You might try to invoke the form_fill method of pdftk directly on the command line and see if it stalls.

So I just found out that the company behind pdftk released an alternate build for OSX 10.11-10.12, but still have not updated the main download links on their site. You can access the corrected build here:

seems to be similar to the bug mentioned in issue #51

This does not seem to be related to pdffiller itself, but rather pdftk. I had a similar setup as @soitgoes and then ran into the issue referenced by @maximilianschmidt . That solved the problem for me with no changes to pdffiller
