Extract form data from a PDF form.

Copyright (c) 2016 Bart Massey

This Python 2 library and command-line app facilitate getting form data from PDF forms, using the PDFMiner (http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer) library for extraction. The code is originally from http://stackoverflow.com/q/3984003/364875 but with minor changes for 2016 and for app.

There are a lot of things that need to be improved here:

• Unicode and other character encoding handling is kludgy at best.
• Only text and selection elements of forms are supported.
• Subforms aren’t supported.
