Importing FDF file issue

Hello,

I am trying to import a FDF file into a PDF using the PDFBox. But the PDF
file comes back with no values in the fields. I am using PDFBox version
1.8.8. From the release notes it appears that this issue was fixed in 1.8.8.

Here is the text from release notes.

[PDFBOX-2413] - Loaded FDF document returns null fields


Here is the line of code that I am using to populate the PDF.

acroForm.importFDF(fdfdoc);

I did a lot of research and troubleshooting, so thought of asking if
anybody knows what is the status of this long pending issue in PDFBox.

Thanks,
Rajeev.

honestly - I don't know as I'm not using FDF. But I'm doing a lot with forms and PDFBox so I can look into that. A test case would be great.

Does that mean, it is supposed to work? If that is the case, let me try to
use a simple PDF with just one field.

Thanks.

Hi,

would you mind sharing your PDF template and FDF so we can have a look at it to replicate the issue? As the mailing list doesn't support attachments please upload the files to a public location.
