----------------------------------
Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
Closing the issue as this works at least since 1.8.0
> Form Fields missing values (values are NULL)

> Key: PDFBOX-1126
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1126
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Environment: RHEL4 32-bit running under Tomcat 6, Java 5
> Reporter: Dave Botsch
> Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
>
> When using getValue() to get the field value in PDFs, getValue() returns
> NULL. Even though the document, when opened in evince or in acroread shows
> the form fields correctly filled in (and the commandline pdftk utility also
> correctly grabs the form values). Using the precompiled commandline pdfbox
> app to bring up the PDFDebugger, the affected fields do not have any values,
> so I can't even try to grab the values "manually" by parsing the
> COSDictionary.
> Also affects PDFBox 1.6.0.
> Sample PDF triggering this issue in 90% of the form fields:
> http://www.cnf.cornell.edu/doc/New_User_Application_-_Cornell.pdf
> Grab it, fill it out with Acrobat Reader, then try to get the field values.
