PDF extraction with checkbox field

[Amruthasimplify]

Hi All,

Can you assist me in finding a solution to extract data from a PDF without relying on external applications, as my organization requires the use of only Blue Prism approved objects and native tools?
I have attempted using Global Send Keys, but it doesn't seem to work well for capturing data from the PDF, which includes text boxes, multi-line fields, and checkboxes. Also, there is a possibility of rearranging the field positions in the future, making it inappropriate to use field position references for data extraction. The PDF can have more than 3 pages.
Is there any alternative method that allows for capturing data, including checkbox values, in a more efficient manner?
Sample of the fields are shown below.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Amrutha,

Once you fetch the data after that you can use Excel macro to read the exact value

Hello KirtiMaan,

I am receiving errors 

"StringBuilder" and "PdfReader" could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Does this have to deal with the itextsharp version? as there are many versions on the site you suggested

Thank you

Tim
