3.
One thing adds to the confusion: this code I inserted
System.out.println("templateField0_null: " + templateField0_null);
prints "null" even if the variable isn't null. The toString() method of PDField
is
public String toString()
{
return "" + getDictionary().getDictionaryObject(COSName.V);
}
so it will show "null" if there is no value.
@Maruan, are you reading here? We need something better there, maybe the field
type and the value.
OK - will do tomorrow.
what do you think about this output
ShortText{type: PDTextField value:COSString{AA}}
with ShortText being the fields fully qualified name?
Yes, that would be fine.

Hi Tilman,
I am creating a new thread.
Here's the issues I am having with this code:
- when I run the program, I get warning message stating that one of the
PDDocuments hasn't been closed properly, although I close all PDDocuments
- the templateField0_null field is null, although the "field" field exists in
the PDDocument’s acroForm
Thanks for your help.
You don't have to answer my questions on a week-end.
Many thanks.
Philippe
