Extract Data from PDF

[LendonSi]

Hi ,

I am trying to extract data from a PDF however, i want the data to be extracted in a key value paired.  For example, if  PDF has a place that says enter "First name and and Middle Initial".  Then this will act as the key. When the user enters their First name and Middle initial", then that will be data. 

Does adobe a has a service that does this in Java? 

thanks
