Rubesh MX commented on PDFBOX-1123:
-----------------------------------
Hi Maruan, First, A big thanks for replying quickly. I am slightly confused
now. I need some clarification on your comment -
"You need to call .getKids() on a each field node which will give you all the
kids, inspect if you are at a field or at another node and move on until you
get to the final field"
So you mean to say that after I have the collection - var obj =
pdCat.getAcroForm().getFields().toArray(); rather than saying PDField pdd =
(PDField)stx; and then pdd.getPartialName(); I should be doing pdd.getKids()?
But I am not getting the right thing when I try this - I have not fully
understood what you were explaining, sorry.
Could you please clarify?

> Hi, I am trying to read the field names in a PDF file, it is working with

> 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

> Since there are some special characters like '.'; '_'; '#' this is causing
