Thanks so much Leonard. This helps. One final question
- you mentioned that "The XML data that represents the
form is not necessary the content of the PDF". I have
the pdf document - I guess it is the XFA form. If I
fill the form fields, how would I then be able to get
this content of the form fields?
Content of the form fields is in the XFA data.
But the other content on the page (images, labels, etc.) are not.
Also, I yesterday, I looked at pdfbox to see if that
would help. With that too, I am seeing the same
problem you commented here - where I get the XFA form
fields, however, any form field values that I enter
and after saving the pdf document, when I read the pdf
file with pdfbox, I don't see my form field content.
Not sure how I can make this working either with itext
or pdfbox.
You will need to extract the XFA "blob" from the PDF and
then parse that as XML. You'll probably want/need to download the
specs on the XFA grammar.
