Does anyone know when Adobe will enable extracting PDF Form Field values?

 

I tried parsing a simple form with 3 fields and it doesn't work at all.

 

Am I doing it wrong?  I have 3 fields, First, Last, and Email.  All single line text fields.

You aren't doing it wrong. It's a known feature request. I can't comment on when/if, but I can say we know it's a feature folks would like.

Hi team,We are facing the following issues                                                                                                                                1. We are losing upto 20% data while extracting the text from the PDF using the PDF Extract API.                                                                                                                                                                                           2. Also we need the font color and background color information from the PDF, Is this supported by the API for text?

Appreciate any help on them.

Thanks!
