eForm unable to extract data
Pega Platform: 7.3.1
I have a fillable PDF. (currently configured to not be savable)
Using the PDF for EForm Wizard, I was able to get the EForm File and Map eForm Rules created.
Using the OOTB functionality, I was able to map from a WorkObject (pyWorkPage) into the generated PDF as expected.
Via an Activity, if I try and use the OOTB calls or EFormUtils java code to read that same PDF back into pyWorkPage, the values are not reflected via tracer steps or clipboard.
Two questions:
1. Is there anything I have missed?
2. Is the fact that the PDF is non-savable causing issues?
thank you,
Rob

Please try calling ExtractDataFromEForm
Pass the map purpose as the name of your Map eForm rule created in the EForm wizard, the SourceEFormPage as your clipboard page that contains the byte array.

It would appear that the logic I had for "intercepting" the upload and then calling ExtractDataFromEForm is incorrect. If I tried attaching the PDF to the case and then parsing it, it works. So I was on the right path in the start but missed out on the proper way to intercept the upload of the PDF.
thank you
