[jira] [Updated] (PDFBOX-1100) PDFMerger: Empty form fields

["Ernst Eibensteiner (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Ernst Eibensteiner updated PDFBOX-1100:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: dereferenceObjectStreams.patch

I've created a short patch that worked for me, but there is certainly a reason for the if clause!

I found out that COSObect 31 and 32 were added twice into the COSDictionary. The first one did not contain a {V} attribute, the second one did. So the patch adds both versions into the COOSDictionary.

Hopefully this helps.

> Merging two PDFs with form fields results in a PDF with empty fields.
> The issue seems to be similar to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1031, but in my case i see the fields but not the value in the fields.
> I use the following command to merge the PDFs:
> java -classpath pdfbox-app-1.6.0.jar org.apache.pdfbox.PDFMerger a.pdf b.pdf c.pdf
