Export form field data to CSV
Hello,
Is anyone aware of how to export form field data to a CSV or perhaps convert FDF or XFDF into CSV?
The reason for asking: we are exporting customer data to forms and pushing these PDFs out to be checked and amended by Customers before reimporting the data into an SQL database. CSV is the preferred medium of exchange.
Thank you for the assistance.
After a bunch of searching, there's 3 possible ways here:
The simplest way is to open an XFDF file in Excel- you want this treated as an XML file. Excel will warn you that the extension and the content don't match- continue anyway. You'll want to start with a read-only workbook just so you can see how it looks. After that, you can play around with the other options, and build a better importer that doesn't bring in lots of extra crap.
