Hi Maruan,
Thank you very much for a quick response.
Yes, I would like to search for default text in form fields and to replace it
with mine text. Is it possible with PDFBox? If not, do you maybe know if it is
possible with some other PDF java lib?
Another file that I uploaded (fax.pdf) I believe doesn't contain form fields
but some strings in it like "Pat Stumuller" are not possible to extract using
PDFBox. Do you maybe know why? Is there maybe any workaround / solution?
Kind regards,Milan

do you mean to extract/replace the text in the form fields or other text
contained in the document

what do you mean by "hidden"

PDF is a binary format - you can't do a simple search and replace.
