Extract form data from a PDF form.
Project description
Copyright (c) 2016 Bart Massey
This Python 2 library and command-line app facilitate getting form data from PDF forms, using the PDFMiner (http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer) library for extraction. The code is originally from http://stackoverflow.com/q/3984003/364875 but with minor changes for 2016 and for app.
There are a lot of things that need to be improved here:
Unicode and other character encoding handling is kludgy at best.
Only text and selection elements of forms are supported.
Subforms aren’t supported.
