Forms

Actions in the Forms group deal with form fields in PDF files.

Extract data from PDF form to CSV file

Extract all data stored in form fields from a PDF to a CSV file.

Flatten form fields

Flatten all form fields in a PDF so that the data stored in them is converted to text objects or comparable objects and the form field objects are removed. After a PDF form has been flattened the content of the form fields becomes part of the pages content stream, rather than sitting above the content stream in a separate object.

Users will no longer be able to fill in PDF forms after they have been flattened or easily change the content that they once stored.
