Extract data from single and multiple forms:
PDF Converter Enterprise 8 allows the user to export populated form field data from multiple PDF forms and output
that form field data to CSV or XML files.
When batch exporting form data from multiple PDF form files, each form will be represented by a row and each
form field by a column. The labels of each form field will become the header row for each column at the top of the
spreadsheet. The CSV files can be opened in Excel or a similar spreadsheet program to view each individual form
field.
The “Export Data from Multiple Forms” feature is similar to but different from the “Import Data to Form” and “Export
Data from Form” tools. The Import/Export tools allow the user to import/export data from populated form fields from
a single file to/from XFDF, FDF, XML and TXT file formats.
