Hi, I have to read a dynamic pdf form, if i am doing ctrl+c and ctrl+v the text is coming but value of the controls is not coming. I also tried spying controls in all the modes but none of them are working. Please suggest me how to read their values. Thanks.

You can use OCR to read text from pdf.

There is a guide in the portal about interfacing with PDF documents. Depending upon how the pdf was created options include clipboard, Accessibility Mode, OCR, and exporting the data (an option available if you are using Adobe Pro). It sounds like your PDF is a true document rather than a scan, so as well as Adobe Pro there are other cheaper tools that can be purchased on the internet for extracting text from such a document.
