Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-1502:
--------------------------------------------
OK, I try to summarize all prior comments:
- PDFBox does extract all text of a pdf (if possible) excluding form values,
annotations, metadata etc.
- have a look at the
[PrintFields|http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/fdf/PrintFields.java]
example on how to extract form values
- updated pdfs, like the edited one, have to read using the non-sequential
parser (use -nonSeq as commandline option / use PDDocument#loadNonSeq instead
of PDDocument#load within your own code) as the old can't handle incremental
updates
If there are any further questions, please address those to our [mailing
lists|http://pdfbox.apache.org/mailinglists.html]. We don't use JIRA as
A+Q-tool.
