Description
I am working on parsing a pdf form. The pdfparse functions work - my document is parsed. However, I only receive the text surrounding the form fields. I have entered data in the form fields and saved the form, but I am not able to access the text saved in the form fields.
Can pdfparse access form data?
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reviewing the pdfparse functions involved in extracting document text and determine whether AcroForm field values are represented in the parsed document. Reproduce the report with a PDF containing saved form data, then define completion by reliably exposing those values or documenting that the format is unsupported.
