Does pdfbox support list fields with multiple select?
I tried to find it out by exploring the code and it seems, that such
fields are not supported.
To be more specific I looked at PDChoiceField class which has one
method - setValue . And it looks like this method always overrides
previously set values, thus making multiple select impossible.
Did I get it right?
P.S. I've posted this text in user mailing list 2 days ago, but nobody
answered so far and I decided to post it here.

the proper way is to create a Jira issue (if not done already) and add
patches (against current SVN trunk) there.
Kind regards,

I want to help adding this feature to pdfbox. How do I do that? Is
there a short manual somewhere? I read, that those, who want to help,
should send suggestions and patches somewhere, but I didn't understand
if they should send patches here (the mailing list), or they should
create issues in issue tracker (Jira) and attach patches there.

Yes, you are right. PDChoiceField should handle that feature but it's incomplete.
