  "title": "Thailand Application to Register a Limited Company (Form บอจ.1)",
  "description": "The Department of Business Development's (DBD) \"แบบ บอจ.1\" (Form บอจ.1), the cover application a promoter/applicant files with the provincial or Bangkok Registrar of Partnerships and Companies to request one of several company-registration actions under the Civil and Commercial Code. Opens Thailand's Business Formation vertical (2 of 6). The live 2-page, 101-AcroForm-widget source is a registrar-facing routing form: page 1's 17-value checkbox group lets the applicant declare exactly one requested action (new company formation, registering a standalone Memorandum of Association, a partnership-to-company conversion, a capital increase/decrease or merger special resolution, five distinct Memorandum-of-Association amendment sub-types, an Articles-of-Association amendment, a merger, a director change, and others), a further 3-checkbox group for optional post-registration requests (labor-bylaw copy submission, trademark registration, import/export identity card), company/existing-registration identification, a two-signatory signature block, and a statutory false-statement warning notice; page 2 is a bundled \"หนังสือรับรอง\" (certificate of incorporation) template that the Registrar — not the applicant — completes and issues after approval. This v1.0.0 deliberately scopes to the new-company-incorporation (\"จัดตั้งบริษัทจำกัด\") action pathway: the full registrationActionType enum (all 17 source values, so the field is self-contained per the source's own single checkbox group), the 3 optional post-registration-request checkboxes, company-name/existing-registration-reference identification, the statutory warning notice, and the applicant's two-signatory signature block. Out of scope for this v1.0.0, disclosed in VERIFICATION.md: the 14 free-text sub-fields that are dependent on the 16 non-formation registrationActionType values (Memorandum/Articles amendment item references, partnership-conversion and merger company details, director in/out counts, head-/branch-office relocation text), the Registrar/witness certification block at the bottom of page 1, and the entirety of page 2 (the Registrar-issued certificate template, not an applicant input).

Re-ran pdfjs-dist (legacy build, getAnnotations({intent:'display'}) filtered to subtype==='Widget'), correlating each widget's rect against getTextContent() text on both sides (not just left): confirmed 2 pages, 101 AcroForm widgets total, 45 (page 1) / 56 (page 2), matching exactly. Deliberately scoped to the new-company-incorporation pathway; see this document's own description and VERIFICATION.md for the full in/out-of-scope breakdown and disclosed judgment calls, including the discovery that page 2 is a Registrar-issued certificate template bundled into the same PDF rather than part of the applicant's own submission."
