Get Values from all the Fields of PDF Document

To get values from all the fields in a PDF document, you need to navigate through all the form fields and then get the value using the Value property. Get each field from the Form collection, in the base field type called Field and access its value property.

The following Python code snippets show how to get the values of all the fields from a PDF document.

    import aspose.pdf as ap

    # Construct the full path to the input PDF file
    data_dir = "/path/to/your/pdf/files/"
    path_infile = os.path.join(work_dir, infile)

    # Create a Form object from the PDF file
    form = ap.facades.Form(path_infile)

    # Initialize an empty dictionary to store form values
    form_values = {}

    # Iterate through all form fields in the PDF
    for formField in form.field_names:
        # Retrieve the value for each form field and store in the dictionary
        form_values[formField] = form.get_field(formField)

    # Print and return the extracted form values
    print(form_values)
