pdfformextractor

A Java Command Line Application

What it (eventually) does:

• Reads data from pdf forms in pdf documents
• Exports the data in the forms to various outputs
  • text
  • csv
  • other formats

How it is built and how it works

1. Uses Maven to build
   • Using diffplug spotless for auto-code formatting
   • Using maven-shade-plugin to make an uber-jar
   • Using spotless for auto-code formatting for the java and pom (and maybe others later)
2. Uses picocli for command line argument parsing
3. Uses PDFBox for PDF manipulation
   • This brings in Apache Commons Logging but doesn't force any particular logger.
