How to list PDF form field names using pyhton

Here’s a simple Python script that might come in handy. I used it for some experiments and am posting it here in case I need it again in the future. Feel free to use it as well!

import PyPDF2

# Open the PDF file

pdf_file = open("example.pdf", "rb")

pdf_reader = PyPDF2.PdfReader(pdf_file)

# Get the AcroFields

acro_fields = pdf_reader.get_fields()

print("Form Field Names:")

for field_name in acro_fields.keys():

print(f"- {field_name}")

# Close the PDF file

pdf_file.close()
