[jira] [Reopened] (PDFBOX-2661) Implement font fallback for AcroForms

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2661?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

John Hewson reopened PDFBOX-2661:
---------------------------------

Reopening, I found out what was happening. Acrobat Pro was modifying the PDF in real time as I was typing into the form, so without even saving the PDF the “Internal Structure” view had been updated with all of the missing resources replaced by Acrobat.

> There are forms where the font specified in the fields default appearance is not pointing to the correct fields or forms resources entry. Adobe Reader/Acrobat have a (unspecified) fallback mechanism to resolve such missing fonts.
> We should be ably to come up with a similar solution.
> A sample of such an issue can be found in PDFBOX-1234
