We use many custom PDF templates that include form fields (editable pdf fields). It would be great if the PDF reader transformer could read this metadata.

I must say nothing makes my day like receiving data in PDF format.🙃

That said, I can completely understand the ease and simplicity of collecting data in PDF forms. With work occurring more and more in disconnected areas, PDF forms are being relied upon more and more. Applications are even creating PDF output when disconnected or offline.

While I thought reading the PDF and simple extracting the relevant text strings would be simple enough, I’ve run into difficulties with consistency dealing with PDF forms.

 

I know i’ll be continuing to investigate other options but this idea is well worth an upvote.
