Keep filled form data with pdfpages

Question

I have to fill pdf forms for a school asigment and would like to append them to my final report. Yet, when using \includepdf from the pdfpages package, all the information I fill into the form disapears (i.e: checkboxes and text-boxes).

How could I prevent that information from disapearing?

Thanks!

Pdfpages uses \includegraphics, which treats PDFs as images. Forms are a whole other level of complexity. — John Kormylo, May 23 '19 at 03:51
As an experiment, I opened a form with Gimp and was able to export it as a JPEG (data intact). — John Kormylo, May 23 '19 at 04:01

Print them to pdf first and then include the newly created pdf. This way it will have all the data from the fields.

mac supports print to pdf natively
windows+unix: there are many programs to print files to pdf
