if there is a PDAcroForm but there are no fields it's very likely a dynamic XFA form. If you are using PDFBox 2.0.0 you can use PDAcroForm.xfaIsDynamic(). If that returns true then you have a dynamic XFA form. For PDFBox 1.8.x you can use PDAcroForm.getXFA(). If that is not null and getFields() is empty again this means that you have a dynamic XFA form. Dynamic XFA forms do not contain 'regular' AcroForm fields. What is it what you would like to do with the form?
