What this demonstrates
Read completed PDF forms without a viewer
Completed AcroForm values can be extracted directly from PDF bytes on the server. This is useful for intake pipelines, validation services, and archiving workflows that do not need to render the document.
The structured result includes each field's identity, type, value, and PDF-specific properties provided by the form-field object.
API used
Forms.GetAcroFormFields
Key members
Forms.GetAcroFormFields reads field definitions and completed values directly from the PDF without opening a viewer.
var fields = Forms.GetAcroFormFields(pdfPath);
var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(fields, new JsonSerializerOptions
{
WriteIndented = true
});
How it works
The endpoint passes the completed PDF file to Forms.GetAcroFormFields and serializes the returned form-field objects as indented JSON.
