How to Auto-Populate Tables in PDF Documents

With GroupDocs.Assembly, dynamically filling tables in PDF templates is simple. Automate document content using structured data.

Design a template in a supported format with table placeholders (PDF templates not supported yet).
Load structured data from sources such as JSON, XML, or databases.
Filter or process the data as needed before table population.
Export the finished document as a PDF with the table included.

Example document Copy

# Insert these tags into the row of your template table
# <<foreach [c in ds]>>
# <<[c.Client]>><<[c.Manager]>><<[c.Price]>>
# <</foreach>>

import groupdocs.assembly as ga

    def run():

        # Specify the path to your table template
        template = "table_template.pdf"

        # Retrieve dynamic data from JSON, XML, or other sources
        data = ga.DataSourceInfo(GetData(), "ds")

        # Save your document with the filled table
        asm = ga.DocumentAssembler()
        asm.assemble_document(template, "result.pdf", data)

        template = "table_template.pdf"

        # Fetch your dynamic data source
        data_json = ga.data.JsonDataSource("Items.json")

        # Package the data into an object for processing
        data = ga.DataSourceInfo(data_json, "items")

        # Initialize DocumentAssembler and bind the data
        asm = ga.DocumentAssembler()

        # Save and export the final document with the completed table
        asm.assemble_document(template, "result.pdf", data)
