I am getting the below error trace when I am using PDFJinja's example for filling form fields in an existing PDF file.
Code Snippet:
dir_name = os.path.dirname("P:\\Project\\pdfjinja_services\\resources\\sample.pdf")
template_pdf_file = os.path.join(dir_name, 'sample.pdf')
template_pdf = PdfJinja(template_pdf_file, current_app.jinja_env)
print(type(template_pdf))
rendered_pdf = template_pdf({
'firstName': 'Faye',
'lastName': 'Valentine'
})
output_file = os.path.join(dir_name, 'output.pdf')
rendered_pdf.write(open(output_file, 'wb'))
Error:

I am using python-3.9.6 and PDFJinja-1.1.0. Please let me know if I am missing any other dependencies.
You are missing a binary (per update pdftk), or the binary is not in your search path.
