So,

I am getting a bunch of emails from a business partner. I "assume"
that the files are using PDF forms because.
It is created by crystal reports (pdf ver 1.3)
says that it allows filling of forms fields.

But in the description it says its not tagged.

I can export the data as text. When I do I get things like
REQUESTED BY :
STORE NO :

This is a form?

How do I strip the data out of a PDF form? In the text export for
the above there is no data to the right of the STORE NO: but when you
look at the PDF you see the data.

I only own reader but that can be changed

This really needs to be automated.

I am on a Mac but could use XP
I know I did something like this once years ago. It was ugly but as
soon as we prototyped it, the person started putting the data online
so we didn't need to parse the PDFs anymore.

Any help would be appreciated...

Doug
