Hi All, I am facing an issue in accessing an AcroForm after splitting a PDF.
*Scenario:* In my PDF (contains sensitive data and hence cannot be shared), I have fillable fields in multiple pages. I need to split the pages based on a certain value in a certain field. When I try to get the AcroForm object on the entire document, it works. But, when I split the document into pages and try to access the AcroForm, it throws a null value. *Test Steps:* 1. Load a fillable PDF (contains a single page with input field). 2. Split the PDF and get the first page as a PDDocument object. 3. Using the PDDocument object, I get the document catalog object. 4. Using the document catalog object, I * try to get the acroform but it gives a null value.* *Code-Snippet:* *// get the PDF file* File file = new File(pdfFilePath); *// load the PDF file to memory* PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(file); *// initialize the splitter object and split the PDF object and get the 1st page as a PDDocument object* Splitter split = new Splitter(); PDDocument documentPage1 = split.split(document).get(0); *// get the document catalog object of the splitted page* PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = documentPage1.getDocumentCatalog(); *// get the acroform of the document * PDAcroForm a = cat.getAcroForm(); *PDFBox Version:*2.0.9 Can we get the acroform for a single page in a PDF document? Let me know if you have any analysis on this. Thanks Ankit
