Hi,
I am using version 1.8.9. I've been trying to track down the issue, and
although the drop downs and check boxes appear correctly in the PDF, it seems
that they are being treated as either 'PDChoiceField' or 'PDCheckBox', but with
a child that is an '
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.annotation.PDAnnotationWidget'!
So I have put in a work around that if its an 'PDAnnotationWidget' child then
forget the child and just get the value of the parent PDField. This seems to
work, but I'm not sure that it should have to be like this! I'm guessing that
it might be something with the tool that created the original PDF. When I
created the same document in Adobe DC then it all worked fine with the code
below, so I'm putting this one down to differences in PDF creation tools!
Your workaround is correct as is as it should be as the PDAnnotationWidget is
the visible representation of the field (there can be many PDAnnotationWidgets
assigned to one field) but the fields value is stored with the field. Now if
there is only one PDAnnotationWidget it's entries and the field entries ca be
combined into one dictionary So that is why it might work in one case and
doesn't in the other.

If I'm just hiding the true cause then it would be great to know. Otherwise
I'll go with my work around.
Many thanks
Andy.

Hi,
I have a service that takes in a PDF document and returns it as an
XML document with the parameter name/values. This works great except
for PDChoiceFields. Sometimes they come back ok, but other times they
don't. My code for returning the values is,
which version of PDFBox are you using? Would it be possible to attach the print
out of PDField.getDictionary() for the field where you would expect a value to
be returned?

------------
...
...
...
} else if (field instanceof PDChoiceField) {
PDChoiceField cf = (PDChoiceField) field;
COSArray caAll = cf.getOptions();
COSArray caSelected = cf.getSelectedOptions();
if (caSelected != null)
{
for (int i=0; i < caSelected.size(); i++)
{
COSBase cb = caSelected.get(i);
COSInteger cbInt = (COSInteger) cb;
COSBase cb2 = caAll.get(cbInt.intValue());
// Check its an array. If its not then the
selected item has no value
if (cb2 instanceof COSArray)
{
COSArray vals = (COSArray) cb2;
fieldValue = vals.getString(0);
}
}
} else {
fieldValue = field.getValue();
}
--------------
This is returning null, even if there are values in the field. I cant attach
the example file as its too large.
Has anyone come across this, or know how to solve the issue?
Many thanks
Andy Crowe
