Auto-filing fillable pdfs from a spreadsheet

Post by bqxmprij »

Hello,

I constantly have to fill out a lot of fillable pdfs (same form, different data) based on spreadsheets of data. This would be one form filled out and saved multiple times for separate files based on data in an excel. The excel documents are always formatted differently so it is hard to map to specific fields/cells. I tried an AI program that recognized what to do but could not fill out the pdfs. Can PDF-XChange Editor do this?

Hi bqxmprij,

We do have populate forms functionality, as detailed here:

But it depends on the source files being formatted consistently, which it appears does not apply in your case. It would work if you could find a way to format the input files consistently though.

Kind regards,
