feature request: add support for adobe forms
it would be useful to display form fields and expose to the HTML / JS layer the form's attributes - for example:
Thanks for a great project Radu
Sure thing! Here is a simple pdf form with 2 fields, named: TextField1 CheckBox3

Use pbget (package pastebinit in ubuntu) to retrieve the pdf file

Has anyone been working on this one? I'm looking out for the same feature and may be ready to spend some time on this (depending on some other things, notably some strange google chrome display bugs).
I'm asking in case someone has already started and has some pointers.
@mwaschkowski : Currently this is partially done, you can look up the --process-form parameter. I only took care of what I needed at that moment, that is checkboxes and text fields, hence why I say "partially".
I may be interested in working on this feature again, depending on your use-case...?
I'm looking into hummus PDF, but will let you know if that doesn't work out.
Thank you
Mark
pdf2htmlEX.exe --process-form 1 --process-annotation 1 --process-annotation 1 --bg-format svg --debug 1 --optimize-text 1 03ff74a4-61af-4116-a616-862a1ce5a4e7.pdf htms/_03ff74a4-61af-4116-a616-862a1ce5a4e7.htm
Output includes text fields, but they all have the following locations:
position: absolute; left: 0.000000px; bottom: 0.000000px; width: 0.000000px; height: 0.000000px; line-height: 0.000000px; font-size: 0.000000px;
Right number of fields, just .. well hidden?
Hm, well first off I haven't tested this feature on windows, that might be part of the problem. What if you try with theses parameters :
--optimize-text 1 --space-as-offset 1 --process-outline 0 --process-form 1 --font-size-multiplier 10
Otherwise could you find a way to share with us this document / an excerpt?
Surely.. when i get back in i will send. It seems rather random that set... --optimize-text 1 ... tried --space-as-offset 1 ... will --process-outline 0 ... tried both ways --process-form 1 ... a constant --font-size-multiplier 10 ????
Its simply that the javascript doesn't reassign position. Is there some sort of exclusion?? (Pre-optimisation === evil) On Oct 6, 2015 9:54 AM, "Simon Chenard" [email protected] wrote:

Ok I have a sample... here ...also there as .zip and .7z using
pdf2htmlEX.exe --optimize-text 1 --space-as-offset 1 --process-outline 0 --process-form 1 --font-size-multiplier 10 fe247744-a828-467d-a48f-477d9a8b8524.pdf htms\fe247744-a828-467d-a48f-477d9a8b8524.html

I have basically the same issue.
I'm running this version of pdf2htmlEX on latest OS X:
pdf2htmlEX version 0.13.6
Copyright 2012-2014 Lu Wang <[email protected]> and other contributors
Libraries:
poppler 0.40.0
libfontforge 20160113
cairo 1.14.6
Default data-dir: /usr/local/Cellar/pdf2htmlex/0.13.6_7/share/pdf2htmlEX
Supported image format: png jpg svg
I want to be able to target the fields that were fill-able in the PDF file somehow. As input fields in the source PDF, they had unique identifiers. I want the outputted HTML from this project to preserve those identifiers somehow, perhaps as ids. I think I'd want them to be actual HTML input fields, but simply retaining the ids would probably be sufficient.
I'd appreciate any help you could provide.
I'm also interested in this, having the same issue with the fields positioning to 0px.
Run into the same issue. Trying to investigate @uberpu comment about JS not assigning positions.
Let me find one. I have been getting around it by some really twisted shell scripting, but would much rather have this just do.
I have some reader scripts if you need, but they use iTextSharp. Speaking of which, whats the best C/C++ library to use?

@uberpu Thank you for your reply. I'd like to get your reader scripts, please share it with me via github or email. I'm using ITextSharp in the server side:)
