Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-2582:
----------------------------------------
the code works as designed (but maybe not as you expected). The fields you are
getting are the first level entries in the AcroForm. From there you would need
to inspect if there are childs to the field
{code}
fields.get(i).getKids();
{code}
and traverse from there. So the names you have are the names of the
intermediate nodes.
> Form fields missing entirely or incorrect in PDField list

> Key: PDFBOX-2582
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2582
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 1.8.8, 2.0.0
> Environment: Windows 7, JRE 1.8.0_25
> Reporter: Gilad Denneboom
> Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
> Labels: acroform
> Attachments: Rollover Mock 5.pdf
>
>
> Running this code on the attached file results in incorrect and missing
> results:
> PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load( new File(filePath) );
> PDAcroForm form = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
> List<PDField> fields = form.getFields();
> for ( int i=0; i<fields.size(); i++ ) {
> System.out.println("Name:" + fields.get(i).getFullyQualifiedName());
> }
> The output is:
> Name:2
> Name:Step 2
> Name:Image 2
> Name:Button 2
> Name:Button 5
> Name:Image 5
> The file was generated in InDesign and the form fields created there, so they
> should be recognizable. You can see that the part of the form fields after
> the dot was removed and the two fields on page 4 are missing entirely.
> I tested it using 1.8.8 and a very recent 2.0.0 snapshot, both yielded the
> same results.
