DOCS: some more about interactive forms
Now that the AcroForm howto is merged, I suppose I can consider some other cases. I waited after the PR got merged because it was becaming difficult for me to keep focused.
XFA forms. Turns out it's possible to extract those with pdfminer, see this SO thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18587878/extract-xdp-or-xfa-from-pdf/33293026#33293026 Would it be fine to add a minimal howto with the relevant info to the docs? I wouldn't invest much time on this, but a little note wouldn't hurt.
I like the second idea the most. People searching for "how to extract xfa forms from a pdf" will end up there, and will be very much helped if the howto works for them.
So lets focus this issue / upcoming PR on the XFA forms? I edited the description to reflect this. Also created #499 for focussing on the recusive AcroForm's.
I'll work on this in the weekend and see what I an put together.
Btw, Interactive Forms should be #499, not #466.
It seems I won't be able to work on this in the foreseeable future, stuff happened.
OK, thanks for letting us know. And good luck!
