Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-1123: ---------------------------------------- Hi Rubesh, when you are at the field topmostSubform[0] call getKids(). You will get two new fields Page1[0] and Page2[0]. Again call getKids() at Page1[0] and you will get two childs c1_04_0_[0] and c1_09_0_ which are the fields where you want to get/set the values etc. Good luck - Maruan > Not able to read field values from a PDF File if the field contains special > characters. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-1123 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1123 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Rubesh MX > Priority: Minor > Labels: acroform > Attachments: fspl.pdf > > Original Estimate: 12h > Remaining Estimate: 12h > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
