Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-2868:
----------------------------------------
[[email protected]] thanks for the report. My last commit should fix the
NPE. OTOH a PDNonTerminalField doesn't have a value of it's own but the value
is used to be inherited by (PDTerminalField) childs to the PDNonTerminalField.
Although it was necessary to fix the issue it might be better to only output
values of PDTerminalField instances as otherwise the same value might show up
multiple times.
