Beyond Standard Reporting: Automating Word with Dynamic Images, Signatures & Python

Hi Alteryx Community! 👋

 

We all know the struggle of taking unstructured data (like PDFs) and trying to create a perfectly formatted Word report. While the standard Reporting tools are great, sometimes we need more flexibility—especially when it comes to inserting dynamic images (like team profiles) or digital signatures into specific placeholders.

I recently built a workflow for a real-world Audit/Tax scenario that solves this using a mix of PDF parsing and the Python tool.

 

🎥In this video breakdown, I show:

  • How to extract unstructured data from multiple PDFs.

  • How to unzip and manage image assets dynamically within the workflow.

  • The Key Solution: Using a simple Python script to write text, tables, AND images into a standard Word template (.docx).

I’d love to hear your thoughts or if you’ve tackled similar "Word Automation" challenges!
