             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: AcroForm
    Affects Versions: 1.8.10, 1.8.9
         Environment: $ cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.19.0-28-generic (buildd@lgw01-03) (gcc version 4.9.2 (Ubuntu 4.9.2-10ubuntu13) ) #30-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 15:52:51 UTC 2015

For my current task I need to access several form fields with the same name. I found [PDFBOX-2148], which seemed to be exactly what I need. However, when I tried the code and pdf of that bug with Pdfbox 1.8.10, I got no output, because {{getKids}} returned {{PDAnnotationWidget}}s instead of {{PDField}}s, even when I tried the provided code. So I tried with 1.8.5 (reported version) and I got this output:

{noformat}
Button2.null
Button2.null
Button2.null
Button2.null
{noformat}

With 1.8.8 I've got:
{noformat}
Button2
Button2
Button2
Button2
{noformat}

And with 1.8.9 and 1.8.10 I got no output at all.
