Hi,

I have a dynamic pdf with a large number of questions. This file will be filled in by different people and we will recover these files once the investigation is complete.

Then we want to compile all the answers from these files and we would like to do it in Excel.

Is it possible to convert dynamic pdf file to Excel with FME?

Thanks a lot,

Have a nice day

Matthieu

Not 100% sure, but i would take a guess that assuming the PDF remains as text (not converted to a raster) you will be able to extract the text. That part should be easy, the harder part may be linking each piece of text to the question

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

That is exactly what it is. I am able to convert to text, but it doesn't allow me to retrieve only the answers. But I'm not sure if it's really possible.
