>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-6179
>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: AcroForm
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.7 PDFBox
>            Reporter: Stefan Ziegler
>            Priority: Major
>
> Seems that fields can no longer be removed like this:
> PDField field = acroForm.getField("XXXXX");
> List<PDField> fields = acroForm.getFields();
> fields.remove(field);
> Internally, the field is never found. PDField has not equals method. getField and getFields create new PDField instances and so equals fails in this case.
> Shouldn't there be an equals method in PDField, that compares the underlying COSObject?
