Question

Smart Form - Auto Merge Documents Based on Selected Checkboxes

  • June 7, 2021

So I am scripting in Python (pdfrw) and have a total of about 20 PDF documents. 

The overall workflow is that the cover page would have checkboxes, and based on the checkboxes selected, additional forms would be added to create an overall single document with all required documents. 

 

While I have my script to auto fill the text fields; I am encountering an issue with selecting and marking the appropriate checkboxes. Any assitance and direction would be appreciated, as I am hoping to create a single smart form (cover page) that would allow for functionality.

    Are you using any scripts to spawn templates?

     

    Can you provide more details ?

    So I am using a script to scan the document, which pulls all fields and stores them as keys within a dictionary. 

    Then using those keys to set the values which auto populate the text fields then outputs the document successfully. 

    The keys pull text fields, date fields, and buttons (checkboxes). 

     

    However when attempting to auto populate the checkbox(es), based on the key name and value given, it does not appear in the output document.

    This is really a question for a Python forum...
