List PDF form field names as JSON

Use jetformat pdf fields to list PDF form field names as JSON.

By Jetformat

Read the field inventory before creating the data for pdf fill. A drawn line or box in a scanned form is not necessarily an interactive PDF field.

Steps

  1. Start with a local PDF. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Read the returned data before choosing a follow-up edit.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat pdf fields form.pdf

Check the result

Check exact field names and types; if the list is empty, do not invent field names from visual labels.

Notes and limits

This is a free utility or read operation. It does not need a paid conversion to inspect the result.

Run jetformat pdf fields --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the pdf command reference for the surrounding workflow.
