Hello Alteryx,

 

Requesting assistance with inserting in each file or tab output a pdf file as an object (in cell D2) with name same as the one in the first field name.

Attached here is a file containing one input tab, and 3 output tabs, also attached are dummy pdf files. Assuming that the 3 outputs will be produced separately (each file) ouput file 123, file 456, and file 789.

 

Appreciate your immediate assistance. Thank you.

one way of achieving this is using bob tool
where you have your template with all the pdf at desired position and then you can write data to the sheets as per requirement.

hope this helps

Hi @Raj , tried the BLOB tool but it only provide the path/location of the pdf file in that specific cell and tab, did not attach the pdf object itself. Appreciate if you can share with me a simple workflow to attach pdf into excel output. thank you.

@PassION_es 
what i suggested is having a excel file with all the pdfs in it on the different tabs as required
then writing the data according to the conditions into specific cells.
