> I have 5 fields with same name(lets say 'wcode') in different places on a one page pdf form. This fields have different fonts. Normally when you fill out one field manually the other fields automatically pick the sames value, the same this happens when I fill it using PDFbox except that PDFBox changes all my 5 fields to have same font as the first field to appear in the pdf form.
> Here is the code used to fill the field.
> {code:java}
> PDDocument _pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(new File(originalPdf))
> PDAcroForm acroForm = _pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
> PDTextField myCodeField = (PDTextField) acroForm.getField("wcode");
> if (myCodeField != null) {
> myCodeField .setValue(my.getCode());
> }
> //Refresh layout && Flatten the document
> acroForm.refreshAppearances();
> acroForm.flatten();
> _pdfDocument.save(outputFile);
> {code}
> I added
> acroForm.refreshAppearances();
> after some research but that did not change anything.
> So if the first 'wcode' field to appear on the pdf form is 6pt all the other 'wcode' fields in the rest the pdf will be 6pt even if I had set them in appearance properties to 12pt.
> On the attached pdf the affected field is called CountyCode
