@mush42 Knowing Adobe, it will be for a very limited subset of PDFs produced by their own software. Never trust a company that has two incompatible standards for managing form data ...
(I used to be a prepress programmer, so I've experienced a whole load of really terrible PDFs. At best, they're digital marks on paper. I also remember the whole "tagged PDF" thing from the early 2000s)
@scruss
For this project, I'd forgo parsing the PDF stream, and extract symantic structure using a visual rendition. Then I'd use this symantic metadata to parse the PDF stream and extract text.
