#  `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` 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` or
`update_info_utf8` operations.

For a complete description of the stanza format, see the
help for `dump_data_fields`.
## Examples

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