 A node.js PDF form field data filler and FDF generator toolkit. This essentially is a wrapper around the PDF Toolkit library <a target="_blank" href="http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/">PDF ToolKit</a>.
 
-
 Quick start
 -----------
 
 First, run `npm install pdffiller --save` for your app.
 
 Import the module using:
 
-```js
+```
+js
 var pdfFiller = require('pdffiller');
 
 // ...
 ```
 
+If you'd like to list out the contents of the form values in your source PDF, import the module as follows:
+
+```
+js
+var pdfFiller = require('pdffiller')({ keep: true });
+
+// ...
+```
 
 ## Examples
 
 #### 1.Fill PDF with existing FDF Data
-````javascript
+```
+javascript
 var pdfFiller   = require('pdffiller');
 
 var sourcePDF = "test/test.pdf";
@@ -43,31 +52,33 @@ pdfFiller.fillForm( sourcePDF, destinationPDF, data, function(err) {
     console.log("In callback (we're done).");
 });
 
-````
+```
 
 This will take the test.pdf, fill the fields with the data values
 and create a complete filled in PDF (test_filled_in.pdf). Note that the
 resulting PDF will be read-only.
 
 Alternatively,
 
-````javascript
+```
+javascript
 
 var shouldFlatten = false;
 
 pdfFiller.fillFormWithFlatten( sourcePDF, destinationPDF, data, shouldFlatten, function(err) {
     if (err) throw err;
     console.log("In callback (we're done).");
 })
-````
+```
 
 Calling
 `fillFormWithFlatten()` with `shouldFlatten = false` will leave any unmapped fields
 still editable, as per the `pdftk` command specification.
 
 
 #### 2. Generate FDF Template from PDF
