Ernst Eibensteiner commented on PDFBOX-1100:
--------------------------------------------
I created a short test program for that case:
PDDocument pdf = PDDocument.load("C:\\tmp\\a.pdf");
PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = pdf.getDocumentCatalog();
PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();
List<PDField> list = acroForm.getFields();
Iterator<PDField> it = list.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
PDField field = it.next();
System.out.println("FQ Name: "+field.getFullyQualifiedName());
System.out.println("Value: "+field.getValue());
}
Output shows:
=============
FQ Name: Testfeld
Value: null
FQ Name: Testfeld2
Value: null
So it seems that "field.getValue()" does not work correctly or does not get the
latest value from the form field.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Environment: Windows 2008 R2
> Reporter: Gerhard Temper
> Attachments: a.pdf, b.pdf, c.pdf
>
>
> Merging two PDFs with form fields results in a PDF with empty fields.
> The issue seems to be similar to
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1031, but in my case i see the
> fields but not the value in the fields.
> I use the following command to merge the PDFs:
> java -classpath pdfbox-app-1.6.0.jar org.apache.pdfbox.PDFMerger a.pdf b.pdf
> c.pdf
