Thank you for contacting us about this. Just to clarify, are you looking to extract the content stream of the of the form field appearance, or would you like to extract the value of the form field?

Are you able to provide us with an example of what you are looking to extract (input and expected output results)? If you could also describe how this fits into your application workflow, that would also be most helpful.

Thank you.
