Description

When extracting content from PDFs, PDF form data isn't extracted.

The following code extracts this data via PDF box, but it seems like something Tika should be doing.

PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = load.getDocumentCatalog();
if (docCatalog != null) {
PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();
if (acroForm != null) {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
List<PDField> fields = acroForm.getFields();
if (fields != null && fields.size() > 0) {
documentContent.append(" ");
for (PDField field : fields) {
if (field.getValue()!=null)

{ documentContent.append(field.getValue()); documentContent.append(" "); }

}
}
}
}
