     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2419?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andreas Lehmkühler resolved PDFBOX-2419.
----------------------------------------
       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 2.0.0
         Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler

I've added an escapeXML method to replace special characters. This is just a workaround. We should replace the current implementation with one using JAXP. I've created PDFBOX-2472 as a follow up.

Thanks for the report and the analysis!

> The XFDF content is written as a simple string instead of XML nodes.
> As a result, field values containing special characters (&, <, >, ...) are not escaped and the resulting XML is invalid.
