PDF FDF-EXTRACT

The Ruby library for extracting form data from a PDF form into an FDF file format that is standardized for storing interactive form data in PDF documents. The FDF file format contains structured form data and can be integrated with other systems. It is relatively lightweight and can be exchanged between different platforms and software applications easily. FDF files can also store digital signatures associated with form data. This is important for maintaining the integrity and authenticity of the submitted information.
