Hello to all
I'm finding a solution on how to read data from a pdf file.
I will try to explain better.
I have a pdf file that contains editable fields like surname, name, address, fiscal code, etc etc.
What i'm trying to do is how to retrieve all the values inserted by a web user when he download and fill the pdf file.
Once the pdf file is edited, the user can send it as an attachement using a specific e-mail address and then we have to read the "data" he stores in the pdf file.
Any idea on how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Gianni |

Hi Gianni,
How about making a web screen with all the necessary fields and then
Have a "submit button" that will -
1. Save the fields into a data base with a unique key
2. generate the pdf file for the user and email it back to them
3. generate a duplicate pdf on your server for security / validation purposes.
When you want to get at the relevant data, you can read the database using a search query.
Hope it helps,
Mike |

Hi Gianni
the easy way, -IF- it works:
do a pdtotext of the file and look at the result. If there are enough tags/identifier so that your know what value is coming from there, it's just text extraction...
if not, then you need to use one of the many pdf tools on the market that are able to do that, write in those fields, etc
Best regards |

Hi Gianni
You can do what you want from within Acrobat Pro in the gui or scripted.
You can also turn to others as Fabrice recommended.
I stumbled upon a tool (http://www.a-pdf.com/form-data-extractor/) a while back that allows you to set profiles/data maps for the desired fields and then process them via gui or cli to csv or xml.
May be worth a look.
