Fill Text Fields

Contents
[ ]

Programmatically filling text fields allows applications to reuse PDF templates and insert dynamic content without manual editing. In this example, the Form facade from aspose.pdf.facades is used to bind a PDF form and update multiple fields such as name, address, and email. After assigning values, the modified PDF is saved as a new document.

  1. Initialize ‘pdf_facades.Form()’ to manage form field operations.
  2. Use ‘bind_pdf()’ to attach the input PDF containing text fields.
  3. Call ‘fill_field()’ to insert data into fields like name, address, and email.
  4. Save the updated PDF.

from os import path
import aspose.pdf as ap
import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

# Fill Text Fields
def fill_text_fields(infile, outfile):
    """Fill text fields in PDF form."""
    # Create Form object
    pdf_form = pdf_facades.Form()

    # Bind PDF document
    pdf_form.bind_pdf(infile)

    # Fill text fields by name
    pdf_form.fill_field("name", "John Doe")
    pdf_form.fill_field("address", "123 Main St, Anytown, USA")
    pdf_form.fill_field("email", "john.doe@example.com")

    # Save updated PDF
    pdf_form.save(outfile)
