Question about PDFields which has the same name.

Hi all,

AFAIK, we can get all the form fields like this:

            PDAcroForm acroform;
            acroform = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
            var fields = acroform.getFields();
            foreach (var field in fields.toArray())
            {}
So far so good, but there is one small problem here: If the pdf
document has several fields with the same name, then only one is
return.
So my question here is: how can we get all of them, and wich page are thay on?

Thank you alot...

Is it possible to get a hand on such a pdf? If so, please file an issue on JIRA 
[1] and attach the document in question to it.
