#  `dump_data_fields_utf8`

Print PDF form field data in UTF-8
## Usage
> pdftl `<input>` `dump_data_fields_utf8` `[output` `<output>]`

## Details
Extracts data from all interactive form fields (AcroForm
fields) within the input PDF, identical to the
[`dump_data_fields`](<dump_data_fields.md>) operation, with one difference: all
string values (such as `FieldValue` or `FieldOptions`) are
written as raw UTF-8. No XML-style escaping is applied.

This output is for informational purposes. It is **not**
designed to be read by the [`update_info`](<update_info.md>) or
[`update_info_utf8`](<update_info_utf8.md>) operations.

For a complete description of the stanza format, see the
help for [`dump_data_fields`](<dump_data_fields.md>).
## Examples

> Save form field data for in.pdf to data.txt
```
pdftl Form.pdf dump_data_fields_utf8 output data.txt
```
