Using Power Automate to Extract data from a PDF Form - Form Data Missing

[brooke_1754]

Hi Community, 

I'm attempting to use Power Automate to extract text from a PDF form.  However, when I run this...I am only able to see the form text and NOT the text entered into the form, aka "form data" .  (Example: The form collects Name:  And afterit's run through Power Automate...it sees the "Name:" label, but doesn't see the "Bob Smith" that was entered into the data field.)  

I'm using Adobe Pro to create the forms....if that makes any difference.   I'm also using an "Submit" button that emails a copy of the PDF to someone.  The plan is that they would collect all these PDF's.  Then run Power Automate to collect all the PDF's into a single excel file. 

Any suggestions as to why I am not able to see the data entered into the form??

Thanks,

Brooke

The ability to read form data is currently in beta, and only available via REST API, not the connector. If you want to try the beta, you can request access here: https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/pricing/contact/sales/form-data-api/

Brooke,  there are PowerAutomate connectors that extract text content from PDFs (see attached image).   Currently, there is no connector to export form data from a fillable form.   As Ray has mentioned, the service to extract form data is in beta right now.  We've used the beta and it's quite good.  I would imagine at some point a PowerAutomate connector will be released to accompany this service.
