Output Excel Table Data to Secure PDF

I am trying to output data from Excel into a secure PDF.  The secure PDF prevents me from obtaining the field name(s) where the Excel data will write to.  The PDF file is West Virginia Form STC12:32C.  I've reviewed the following, https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/A-quick-tutorial-for-getting-A... and several other posts about subject; however, I did not find one specifically mentioning a secure PDF.  Thanks for the help.

Hi @w_gore 

 

To get the field names try https://www.pdffiller.com/ This seems to get the actual form names to use as your field names in alteryx:

Thanks for the reply.  Since most of the fields are generic in nature (mostly, 'Text' or 'Number'), I'll likely need to consider an alternative.  Perhaps, I can scan return and use my Adobe Acrobat from that point.

Hi @w_gore 

 

Those are the data types. Look at what I highlighted in the top right, that's the actual field name. (Database field name)

I'll also say that the original article you linked is incredibly helpful for this, I went through this effort with forms for a different state a few weeks ago and basically had to re-write all of the python as the packages in that example are now deprecated. The method worked perfectly after that, though!

Now that I've determined how to retrieve field name, I'm forging ahead.  Thanks again.
