PYTHON PDF FORM FILLER TRIAL
Trial and error and delving through the PDF specification lead to the realisation that simply setting the /ap dictionary to an empty value made most PDF viewers re-render the set value.
The next step was to stich it all together and solve the issue of filled form fields not having an associated rendered state. So the first step was to create a PDF form from the provided Starter Checklist (any good PDF editor). Unfortunately HMRC no longer provide a PDF form instead opting for a convoluted online form that spits out a rather ugly PDF. The sticking point with the helpful instruction from the above posts was that the neatest way of filling a PDF is to populate a native PDF form (this also provides the benifit of producing a PDF that can then be further edited). The heavy lifting is done by the pdfrw library which provides a convenient way to read and write PDFs. A quick search of the internet showed a wonderful starting point from Jan Chęć in the post “ Filling PDF Forms In Python - The Right Way” which lead to “ How to Populate Fillable PDF’s with Python” The Detail This Snippet was to enable the HMRC Starter Checklist PDF to be pragmatically filled by a python app. This is just a short note/documentation on something I “wrote” for a project (that didn’t end up being presented) at NHS Hackday #22 in London.
