I never received a reply to my email about the proper syntax to produce an fdf
file from a fillable form. Anyone who intends to use pdftk, be aware you may
not get support.

Still locks up. I have an email in to the guy who maintains it. I just thought
if someone had this working they could provide me with proper syntax. I cannot
get the prompt working either. This from the man page:
pdftk
[ input_pw ]
[ ]
[ output ]

Have you tried leaving off the output filename? Should dump it to stdout then.

That's why I enclosed them in quotes. Dragging the files into the terminal
creted paths with delimited spaces, but I got the same result.

On macOS, try PDFzone (on the App Store). Great app.

I should have mentioned, you need Acrobat for this, Reader won't do it, and any
Acrobat alternative would need to be able to run javascripts.

I didn't see in any of the descriptions a way to script or automate
conversions. I suppose if any has a watch folder auto conversion feature that
could work.

Have you heard of my app? :-)
What I do on a Mac is tell Acrobat (via Applescript) to create an fdf file
which is an xml formatted file of all the values in the form controls. I then
have a function that parses that file into a livecode array. Windows is
trickier, because you cannot tell
That looks like an interesting list.
We just started on a new app in LC for managing troves of scanned
documents, and one of the tasks we were planning to add was connecting to
an OCR service and a PDF-converter.

Does anyone have any code or suggestions for reading the data from PDF forms? I
have several hundred form fields in 5 different design forms in PDF format that
I need to extract. The data is mainly text fields but may include a few
checkboxes and radio buttons. Any thoughts please?
Thanks
