[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-3586) Unable to detect form -
pdCatalog.getAcroForm() return null
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3586?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17223537#comment-17223537 ]

PDFBOX-4985 provides a way to create a fixup for this issue. We won't handle it directly as Acrobat/Reader also won't create a AcroForm entry for that. So in order to get an AcroForm generated for that a fixup is the correct approach.
The sample PDF also has more issues. E.g. the font color for the "field" content is white. So entering text in Adobe Reader/Acrobat doesn't show it afterwards (although it's contained)
