Team,
I need to import a government pdf form, populate some fields and output the PDF form so that another group can then populate additional data.
In an older version of Alteryx (2019.1), I did this with a Python “add-in”, but have not had to use it in a while (and have upgraded both machine and Alteryx) and was hoping there was a new way / updated way to do this process.
I am now on version 2024.2 Non-Admin Designer Desktop and cannot currently upgrade any further to get this done.
I can figure out how to get the data and prepare the data to populate the fields, but how do I keep the PDF formatting / text from the government agency so that I can then export it as a PDF for another group to then populate additional fields on the same PDF.
See attached op218.pdf and CT_OP_218_ALL_002.jpg from the State of Connecticut.
I need to populate these fields on the op218.pdf (noted in Red in the CT_OP_218_ALL_002.jpg):
Name of exporting company
Address
City or town
State
Zip code
Purchased from (name of distributor)
Period covered
State shipped to
$_____________________
Type of Petroleum Product(s)

Any ideas / thoughts / help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
