Hello Ramesh,

Thanks for using our products.

I am afraid you cannot extract text from XFA form, because XFA form contains contents in XML format and the controls/contents are rendered during the time of PDF viewing. If you simply select the XFA from in Windows Explorer (press one mouse click), you will notice that a preview image of file is shown and it shows the similar text as you have specified in your earlier post.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.

In order to extract text from XFA form, first you need to convert it to Standard Acroform. For further details, please visit Convert Dynamic XFA form to Standard AcroForm

In case you encounter any issue, please share the source XFA form, so that we can test the scenario at our end. We are sorry for this inconvenience.
