That's cool. I was working on something similar, extracting tabular data from PDF for the last 2 weeks.
Curious about your method, as the process (e.g. to detect the coordinate of the header/footer fields, etc) is very manual and specific for each PDF template. Do you happen to encounter the same challenge? If yes, how do solve it, use machine learning? heuristics? etc?

The tool will probably include a way to manually add/remove fields as well, but detecting form fields from basically an image is a level of awesomeness I have not yet set as a goal haha.
