-----------------------------------
Hi Andreas,
Thanks very much for the quick reply, the code snippet is given below - This
would just show in a message box, all field names with types etc., once this
succeeds, we will be building the code to what is expected of the project. This
is with the latest version for .Net, I have also tried taking the latest
version that is not officially relased as mentioned by you in
http://pdfbox.lehmi.de/
string fileIn = @"C:\fspl.pdf";
PDDocument pdDoc = PDDocument.load(fileIn);
PDDocumentCatalog pdCat = pdDoc.getDocumentCatalog();
var obj = pdCat.getAcroForm().getFields().toArray();
foreach (var stx in obj)
{
PDField pdd = (PDField)stx;
MessageBox.Show((pdd.getPartialName() + "|" +
pdd.getFieldType() + "|" + pdd.getValue()));
}
pdDoc.save(fileIn);
pdDoc.close();
Please let me know if there is something wrong with the way I am reading the
field names. Your suggestions/comments on this will be much appreciated. Thanks
again.

> Hi, I am trying to read the field names in a PDF file, it is working with
> most of the files, but in some files we are not able to read the field
> Id/name, the reason being we have some field names as -
> topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].c1_04_0_[0]
> topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].c1_09_0_
> topmostSubform[0].Page2[0].Table_Line4a[0].#subform[1].p2-t69[0]
> Here all the field names starts with topmostSubform[0]. so when we try to get
> the field names like PDField.getpartialname() - the field name is getting
> truncated at '.' and we get only - topmostSubform[0] and since all the field
> names starts with the same name the total count of fields are coming as 1.
> Since there are some special characters like '.'; '_'; '#' this is causing
> the issue. Could you please suggest on this? This is very critical.
