Re: [iText-questions] Retrieving data from PDF Form created using

[M.Rameshkumar]

Below is the code-snippet that might give u an idea about retrieving the field names and their filled-in values of the given PDF file/form using the great "iText". I would, personally, prefer iText rather than PDFBOX, another good PDF-library.

--------------------------------

            PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdfFileNameAsStringVariable);
            AcroFields form = reader.getAcroFields();
            HashMap fields = form.getFields();

            for (Iterator i = fields.keySet().iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
                System.out.println(  (String) i.next()   );                         
                System.out.println(  form.getField(fieldName)  );
    }

Hi

I have created an interactive PDF Form using iText Class library. Is it possible to retrieve the form data entered into the form fields using iText.

Please advice me if there is any other SDK or tool that I can use to retrieve the data from PDF Form created using iText.

Thanks
