[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-1234) NPE at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAppearance.calculateFontSize(PDAppearance.java:551)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1234?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14304505#comment-14304505 ] 

Christer Palm commented on PDFBOX-1234:
---------------------------------------

Yes the PDF is of course an example of one of those widely circulated invalid PDF:s that are still rendered/repaired by Adobe Reader. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear from the beginning.
I don't know what the PDFBOX policy is on invalid PDF:s, but as a minimum I'd expect it to throw a meaningful exception, not a NPE.

>            Reporter: Christer Palm
>            Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun

> Using SVN trunk revision 1291094 (2012-02-18)
> Getting the following stack trace when trying to call PDField.setValue() on a AcroForm field in the attached document;
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> 	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAppearance.calculateFontSize(PDAppearance.java:551)
> 	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAppearance.insertGeneratedAppearance(PDAppearance.java:371)
> 	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAppearance.setAppearanceValue(PDAppearance.java:281)
> 	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDVariableText.setValue(PDVariableText.java:131)
> Reason seems to be that PDApperance.getFontAndUpdateResources() returns null, in turn because the font dictionary for the DA of the field ("/Cour 11 Tf 0 g") is not present in the document.
