Key: PDFBOX-1276
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1276
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: PDModel
Affects Versions: 1.6.0
Environment: OS : Windows 7
JVM : 1.7.0_02 [64-bit]
Reporter: Ravikiran Mane
Fix For: 1.6.0
When trying to set value for a field in pdf, got following exception :
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.common.COSDictionaryMap.put(COSDictionaryMap.java:106)
at
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAppearance.getFontAndUpdateResources(PDAppearance.java:440)

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAppearance.setAppearanceValue(PDAppearance.java:268)

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDVariableText.setValue(PDVariableText.java:131)

qs.common.GenerateReports.generateBidderDeclaration_OBS_05_105(GenerateReports.java:71)
Hence after following suggestion from following link :
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/pdfbox-dev/201108.mbox/%3cbe54ce7a716a7247b1d3bf9d9c187ced0843e...@som-teaqasmail1.som.w2k.state.me.us%3E
i.e. intruduced a try-catch for
retval = (PDFont)formResources.getFonts().get( fontName );
resolved the issue for me as well.
Creating this issue so that the bug is documented and would like to see the
change in upcoming releases.
Shall attach the jar file that contains the changes which resolved the issue.
