From your question, it's not clear if the 50 PDFs are interactive forms. By interactive forms, I mean that the PDF contains either an array of AcroForm fields (where each field has a unique name) or an XFA stream (XFA = XML Forms Architecture). Please read section 6.3.5 from the following document to find out if the PDFs contain AcroFields (and if so: what are their names): http://www.manning.com/lowagie2/samplechapter6.pdf Please try the XFA demo to find out if the PDF has an XFA stream: http://demo.itextsupport.com/xfademo/
This makes me assume that you have an interactive form.
This makes me doubt you have an interactive form. In any case: if your PDFs have form fields, it's fairly easy to get these field names. Now you have to map them to whatever data structure you already have in your own system architecture.
That's described in chapter 6 of "iText in Action - Second Edition." You can download that chapter using the link mentioned above. |
