Hi Mike,
It still leaves the question of how to extract the data from the
completed form. Perhaps I've not hit the right keyword, but I've found
/nothing/ on the net. Surely if there's a way of filling in a form,
there's one of reading it!!
I have tested (for German Base Handbuch)
https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/
Works with Linux this way:
for i in *.pdf ; do pdftk "$i" dump_data_fields_utf8 >> auswertung.txt ;
done
...
Many thanks, that will work nicely. The output looks very easily
parseable by perl, ready to make a sql database.
