formfill (module)

The formfill module helps filling out pdf forms with other data. But there is
|
|
|
|
|
no command line interface, you have to create a function on where to position
|
|
|
|
|
what on the form.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The function requires some Reportlab knowledge. An example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from pdftools.formfill import fill
|
|
|
|
|
from reportlab.lib.units import mm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# `parse_file` is an exercise to the reader
|
|
|
|
|
attendees = parse_file("teilnehmertabelle.txt")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# function defining where to draw what.
|
|
|
|
|
def custom_function(canvas, item):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# one item consists of three things
|
|
|
|
|
company, address, name = item
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
canvas.setFont("Helvetica", 11)
|
|
|
|
|
canvas.drawString( 35*mm, 204*mm, f"{company}, {address}")
|
|
|
|
|
canvas.setFont("Helvetica-Bold", 11)
|
|
|
|
|
canvas.drawString( 35*mm, 169*mm, name)
|
|
|
|
|
canvas.drawString( 35*mm, 82*mm, "19.02.2019")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# "form.pdf" should be the path to the form file
|
|
|
|
|
fill("form.pdf", attendees, custom_function)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
