----------------------------------------
Hi,
as far as I can see the text extraction works as expected. Text extraction is
meant to extract the boilerplate text not the fields value. This works similar
to Adobe Reader if you save the filled out form as text. You will get also not
get the fields value. So from my perspective the software works as designed an
inline with what Adobe Reader does.
