Extract Form Template (Structure CSV)
Walk a PDF's form fields and emit a CSV describing the form's STRUCTURE — name, type, default value, options — without exporting any current values.

How does the Extract Form Template (Structure CSV) work?
Export the STRUCTURE of a PDF form as a CSV — for migration to a different form tool, building Pre-populate-from-CSV templates, or auditing form design. Different from Extract Form Data: that one captures filled VALUES; this captures the form schema (name, type, default value). The output CSV becomes the perfect header row for Pre-populate from CSV: just add data rows underneath and pre-populate generates one filled PDF per row.
