The Google query was
extract data pdf +form Then I'm feeling lucky.
Basically you export the data in a FDF (Forms Data Format) file, then
parse that. You should only need Acro Read 5+ for that. You can also
send the data to a URL and use CGI to capture it. (This could be useful
to your survey respondants, so they don't have to save it an email it
back. And avoids you having to parse the FDF.) This very thing you are
trying to do was why Adobe created the form stuff.
Many of us can get you that sweet Perl happiness of CGI w/ or w/o a DB
(LAMP) (LAP?) In my brain, I see a 3 line basic perl to extract and
print (append) the CGI to a comma seperated file suitable for import.

However, when I tried to do the same thing using Adobe's Acrobat
Reader, it would not let me save the information. Also, printing as
a PDF from Acrobat Reader generated un-selectable text. Does anyone
know if any of the pdf readers under Linux allow saving of field
information? IIRC, Scott mentioned something about kpdf(?) had some
really cool features.
