Steve Deal updated PDFBOX-1294: ------------------------------- Attachment: (was: Proposal_for_IssueReporting.pdf) > Unable to read values from PDF Form fields saved by Acrobat Reader > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: PDFBOX-1294 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1294 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Components: PDModel.AcroForm > Affects Versions: 1.6.0 > Environment: Windows 7, eclipse Indigo, Java 1.6.0 > Reporter: Steve Deal > Labels: Form, PDF > > The Document Properties names and values are readable. > The PDF Form fields names are readable but the values of the PDF Forms fields > are all null. > Attached file demonstrates problem using this code: > PDDocument pdDoc = PDDocument.load(filename); > > PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = pdDoc.getDocumentCatalog(); > PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm(); > System.out.println("acroForm COSObject: > "+acroForm.getCOSObject().toString()); > List fldList = acroForm.getFields(); > Iterator fIter = fldList.iterator(); > while(fIter.hasNext()){ > PDField field = (PDField)fIter.next(); > > System.out.println("----------------------------------------------"); > System.out.print("field FQN: " + > field.getFullyQualifiedName()); > System.out.print(" type: " + field.getFieldType() ); > System.out.println(" value: " + field.getValue() ); > } > It should be noted that the above code will print out the default form field > values that were saved to the form using Acrobat Pro X. However if the PDF > form is subsequently filled out and saved using Acrobat Reader, those values > are not accessible using PDFBox. > Apparently form field values saved by Acrobat Reader are stored differently > than the default form field values. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
