about extraction of response of radio buttons from pdf files
I have some PDFs which were developed using Acrobat forms data. So these PDFs have data which were input by the user. Now I am able to extract most of the data from these PDFs somehow. But I am still unable to get the response which was input from the user. How can I get that? Pictures are attached below->
pdf file--->
extracted text--> 
As you can see in the extracted text, I am able to get all the options. But not
able to identify the option which was marked by the user. Please provide me a solution related to java.

Most likely your radio buttons are AcroForm form field widgets. Every general purpose Java PDF library should support reading form field values. The actual problem is to identify which question corresponds to which form field because form fields and static page content are stored in entirely different structures. If you are lucky, the form field names in your PDF are descriptive, e.g. something like Question.6.YesNo. Otherwise you'd have to try and associate field and question by position which some PDF libraries make difficult by using different coordinate systems for text and fields...
