                 Key: PDFBOX-3633
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3633
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.3
         Environment: Mac OS 10.12.1 (16B265)
            Reporter: satyaditya m


I am facing this peculiar issue while trying to get the field values present in this form eg : (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf)

When this form is edited on preview app in mac, documentCatalog does not contain the acroForm . When the same use case is repeated on the adobe acrobat, I am able to retrieve the fields present in the PDF page. 

  File f=new File("fw8.pdf");
        PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(f);
         PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog     =pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog();
        System.out.println("metadata "+docCatalog.getMetadata());
        PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();

        if(acroForm==null){
       Logger.debug("acroform is null");
             }
