A coworker has a task that involves taking pdf files (they are forms) received from various emails and entering them in a system. I'm trying to make her life a bit easier by reading the PDFs into a single file (.txt or .xls is fine).
Extract text from PDF doesn't read the values entered into the form fields, even when those fields are simple text values. Is there a way I can convert or flatten these files to make them readable? Data is sensitive, so I'd prefer not to upload to cloud services - I'd like to do the conversion on our desktop.
I've done a lot of searching here and on google, but I keep getting a lot of results about Microsoft Forms instead of PDF forms. 🙄
Don't work much with PDF forms, so a nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
