Hi
It could be an XFA forms pdf... then you'd have to analyze the XML content.
I opened the pdf in a text editor, and I can say the boxes are in a
stream xml entity, in binary format. (By removing some binary, I have
been able to remove the boxes.
Does it exclude the XFA form pdf nature ?
Sorry, "nature" looks like a bad translation, and sadly I don't know
what you meant... please write that part in french, which I understand too.
PDFBox doesn't have an API for the XFA form.
You can also upload the PDF to a sharehoster (no mail attachments). Or
look at the PDF in PDFDebugger.
It could be ordinary text, then the text stripper would do the job.
The regular textstripper does not extract them. Does it exclude the text
nature ?
Same problem with "nature". PDFBox cannot extract XFA forms. It can
detect glyphs that are used for forms, e.g. squares.

Thanks a lot

It could be widgets annotations without acroform, then you'd have to analyse
these.

It could be vector graphics, then it gets really difficult.

Hi
I have several pdf created with PDFCreator 2.0.1.0 and I want to extract
the content as text, including the checkboxes values in it.
THe pdf looks like a regular form pdf with checkboxes. However it is not
a acro form based pdf, and the regular pdfbox code I use in this case
does not apply : the acroform is null !
I wonder how I can iterate on those checkboxes (or visually equivalent)
objects or symbols.
If someone can give me a starter to list all objects in that pdf, that
might be helpful to begin with.
Thanks by advance,
