> 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)
> at
> org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAppearance.setAppearanceValue(PDAppearance.java:268)
> at
> org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDVariableText.setValue(PDVariableText.java:131)
> at
> 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.
> Also, I had to add try-catch for following :
> printWriter.println(getTextPosition(boundingBox, pdFont, fontSize, tokens));
> as getTextPosition() is throwing IOException as the font is null.
> 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.
