Is there a way to extract pdf form field properties for all fields to xml/excel?

Hello, 

 

I am attempting to extract from a fillable PDF all of the fields that are included along with their individual PDF Form Field Properties. For context, I am going to use this in a document that will provide requirements to an application that will be "filling" the PDF. 

 

I know that I can extract the names of the fields. I would like to be able to extract the names of the fields along with other elements like: Limit of X characters, Comb of X characters, Validation, Field value is not validated, etc. 

 

Is there a way to pull a full metadata pull for a form that includes this information? 

 

Thank you in advance for anyone that may be able to assist me.

Not possible with the Acrobat Online Services.

May be possible with Adobe Acrobat.
