Is there a way to get this library to flatten the file once it is filled in, to stop the data being altered? I've looked at the documentation and it mentions a 'flatten=True' option for the 'write_fillable_pdf', but the form fields are still editable. Is this something that is beyond the capabilites of the fillpdf module?
@@horikatanifuji5038 I never found a way for it to work. Followed the documentation but it just didn't work like it should have. I haven't tried since then. It was mainly research for a custom CRM I'm in the planning stages of building, I was hoping to use this to finalise documents into PDFs but I'll have to try something else when I get closer to that stage in the build.
@@ZoraizMuhammad-y2p I haven't got to the point of building it yet as I'm having to learn programme design along the way, but it will likely be something along the lines of NodeJS and jsPDF for document generation
I want something to automatically fill out my tax forms. I tried Turbo, but it's just soooo slow with all the 'fill this in, click next, answer this, click next'.
The same function has been solved by Adobe Acrobat's prepare form. But, I am thinking about some new features. With your code, I think I can move forward a bit.
doesnt work. i wrote the exact code. error: Traceback (most recent call last): File C:\ProgramData\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\spyder_kernels\py3compat.py:356 in compat_exec exec(code, globals, locals) File c:\users eele\onedrive\2023 ventures\consulting\pdf_writer\pdf_writer_3.py:19 fillpdfs.write_fillable_pdf('simple_pdf_form.pdf', 'filled_simple_pdf_form.pdf', data_dict) File C:\ProgramData\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\fillpdf\fillpdfs.py:265 in write_fillable_pdf if len(options) > 0: TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()
Pretty useful process to automate PDF forms filling with Python!
Great video breaking this down into easy steps! This is something i learned last year and has been a game changer.

Did you figure out how to do this?

@@JefferyHarrold wanna share what you used. as i am on same stage and looking for solution
@horikatanifuji5038 you have to save the flattened file under a different file name or it fails

by any chance, can you think of starting a rust tutorial series?
oh yes. It works. You are a genius. Thanks a million for this video. It is exactly what i needed. :)
Very cool library!
Hi, Does anyone have the same issue not being able to fill the radio group?
😂Before watching your videos my brain nerves disconnected after seeing neural nine they connected automatically.than q for a valuable content sir❤

Thanks for the video! Is it possible to change the font (including type, size, color, weight) of text while filling form fields using fillpdfs?

Can i pay you to build something simple for me ?
Do you know how to create a PDF fillable with python ? basically the reverse process of the video.
That’s what I’m trying to figure out as well. I have flat pdf’s that I’m wanting to automate to make them fillable.
@@BRB_GHONDi Any luck? I want to do the same
Now, do the reverse...pdfs to db
Do you find something ?
