OT extracting data from fillable PDFs to CSV, Excel, etc.

Art Kendall
Does anybody have experience with extracting the filled in data from fillable
PDFs.

WordPerfect has ways to create PDF files that are fillable.  For example,
one might have a PDF with edit boxes, drop down lists, etc. to ask First
Name Last name, Date-of-birth, State, phone number, school major, etc.

Is there a python, stand alone program, or other technique to extract the
filled in parts and export those parts as a comma-separated, or other format
that can be read in to Excel or SPSS?
