Using Alteryx to fill in PDF text boxes

Hello

 

I am looking to fill in PDFs in an automated fashion.

 

I have all of the data ready and I have a PDF that has text boxes am looking to populate the text boxes with the data.

 

Python has been suggested but it is not my forte and wondered if anyone had a script or experience with doing this another way?

 

This is the form I am looking to fill in fyi: https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-3520-a

 

Thanks

Hi there we performed this project for a client using a mixture of Alteryx, Mapping sheets and Python to complete a full run of output reports.

Unfortunately we performed this work as a paid engagement for a client so can't share, but would be happy to discuss how we did it.
