Maruan Sahyoun commented on TIKA-1857:
--------------------------------------
Sorry for my delay in answering your question.
May I propose the following strategy:
a) for static XFA if there is datasets.data use that content for the filed
values otherwise extract from the AcroForm.
b) for dynamic XFA scrape/extract info from the XFA.
Why a different proposal for a) from yours? Adobe Reader/Acrobat use the
information from dataset.data for the field value over the possibly differing
content in AcroForm (which might happen if the form has been filled out with an
XFA aware processor and afterwards was amended with a non XFA aware processor)
