I cannot read fields from PDF

[Thiago Valente Aguiar]

Hi Syncfusion team,

I am trying to read the fields from a PDF file which is not flattened (I can select the fields in a PDF reader). However, the "fields" from PdfFormFieldCollection is always empty.

I followed the documentation here but no luck.

When I extract the entire text I can read the whole document but without the fields.

String text = PdfTextExtractor(document).extractText();

In the attached file, how can I read the number "35" (after "Transaction Property Address")?

Thank you in advance,

We have checked the reported issue with the provided details on our end. There are no form fields in the provided pdf document. The field values are flattened at different times. So the field values are getting extracted at last when using extract text.

Please find the attached output file below generated with the extracted text with text line collection:
