Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1857:
---
I implemented a first attempt XFA scraper with StAX; this pulls the content
from the fields that Pascal identified into the ContentHhandler, and it merges
the "values" from the data section with the fields section.
Currently, if XFA exists, I process that and skip the AcroForm data.
I'm not certain what the best path is for ignoring/processing content extracted
from the "regular" PDF if there is XFA data.
For now, I'm also processing the contents of the rest of the PDF. I'm more
averse to losing data than to duplication because my main use case is
search...but I realize this will be really frustrating to users who want "just
one copy" of the content.
In looking at the pdfs with xfa data in govdocs1, it looks like there would be
lost content in _some_ files if we processed only the XFA and did not do the
regular text extraction. On the other hand, for most of the files I examined,
it looked like the content is entirely duplicative -- [~pascal.essiembre]'s
point above.
I propose adding a parameter to the PDFParserConfig along the lines of
{{ifXFAExistsProcessItAlone}}...this would allow the behavior of Pascal's
patch. I propose that the default be set to "false", erring on the side of
extracting more content at the cost of duplication.
Is this ok? Or, is there an easy way to determine if regular content is
entirely duplicative of XFA content?

Doh! Sorry. I was looking at PDXFAResource. Thank you, again.
bq. PDF 2.0 as there XFA is deprecated
Oh, no...I guess we could copy/paste from the current PDFBox if XFA goes away
in PDFBox...less than ideal. I don't see deprecation tags in PDXFAResource or
PDAcroForm's {{getXFA()}}...which XFA handling might go away?

Do I understand correctly then: no matter whether static or dynamic, try to
pull data from XFA; if that doesn't exist, fall back to the AcroForm?
{quote}
if you'd like to replicate Adobe Reader/Acrobat behavior - yes. BTW don't know
what will happen with PDF 2.0 as there XFA is deprecated which might have an
implication for future versions.
{quote}
Also, is there an obvious way to determine static vs. dynamic aside from
checking to see if there are fields in the AcroForm?
{quote}
there is {{PDAcroForm.xfaIsDynamic()}} which will give you the information
(which checks if there is XFA and no AcroForm fields)

Maruan Sahyoun commented on TIKA-1857:
--
The reason you are not getting the data is that this is stored as part of the
data node in an xml data structure which matches the binding information in the
field. That data is in {{xfa.datasets.data}} with the {{my_exibitor}} value
stored in the {{Exhibitorname}} field.
Extracting {{speak|text|exData}} will give you the boilerplate text but not the
field value.
Now there are two types of XFA forms - static and dynamic. Static XFA forms
will have an XFA entry and AcroForm fields. Dynamic XFA forms will only have an
XFA entry and no AcroForm fields.
When an XFA form is filled out with an XFA aware PDF processor for static forms
both the {{xfa.datasets.data}} information is updated as well as the {{V}}
entry of the AcroForm form field. If you fill out a static form with a non XFA
aware PDF processor it will only see the AcroForm information and as a result
only updates the AcroForm form fields {{V}} entry.
When trying to fill a dynamic XFA form with a non XFA aware PDF processor it
will not see any form fields at all.
I'm happy to provide more information on that topic but thought that this will
give you a first outline.

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1857?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel=15149014#comment-15149014 ] Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1857: --- from TIKA-1607's [comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1607?focusedCommentId=15148914=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15148914] bq. In the case of XFA forms, the form IS the content. Got it. Doh. Thank you. As I look at a few of these docs from govdocs1 w/ XFA data, it looks like the form also contains the PDF's standard metadata...(author etc.) which is not necessarily stored in the older mechanism: COSDictionary. bq. I'll support whichever way you pick, but I personally can't see use cases where extracting that workaround message is the intent when using Tika. I do see value in keeping the entire DOM though. Maybe you can do as you suggest, but "in addition" to returning the XFA text as the content? Y, that would be in addition. Thank you, again. > Enhance PDFParser to extract text from XFA forms > > > Key: TIKA-1857 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1857 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: parser >Reporter: Pascal Essiembre >Priority: Trivial > Labels: patch > Fix For: 1.13 > > > Extract text from PDF Forms (XFA).
