Re: [LUG] Data extraction from PDF form

Hello all.

I am trying to make an application form and collate the data.
I have managed to make a fillable PDF with Libre office writer, but I
have been struggling to work out how to extract and collate the data
from returned forms.

Has anyone done this with Libre Office?

...or is there another easier way (preferably NOT google based... I am
aware google forms would probably work beautifully!)

Thanks in advance

Anthony

This might be a daft question but if the plan is for people to fill in this form on their computer, why are you doing it as a PDF?

Grant. :)
