Rubesh MX commented on PDFBOX-1123: ----------------------------------- Hi Andreas, Any confirmation from you on this issue will be much appreciated, we are waiting to hear from you on this before we go ahead with the development plan, since the file I had attached should also be read by our application, we are waiting for a word from you on this. > Not able to read field values from a PDF File if the field contains special > characters. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-1123 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1123 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Rubesh MX > Priority: Critical > Labels: Bug > Attachments: fspl.pdf > > Original Estimate: 12h > Remaining Estimate: 12h > > Hi, I am trying to read the field names in a PDF file, it is working with > most of the files, but in some files we are not able to read the field > Id/name, the reason being we have some field names as - > topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].c1_04_0_[0] > topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].c1_09_0_ > topmostSubform[0].Page2[0].Table_Line4a[0].#subform[1].p2-t69[0] > Here all the field names starts with topmostSubform[0]. so when we try to get > the field names like PDField.getpartialname() - the field name is getting > truncated at '.' and we get only - topmostSubform[0] and since all the field > names starts with the same name the total count of fields are coming as 1. > Since there are some special characters like '.'; '_'; '#' this is causing > the issue. Could you please suggest on this? This is very critical. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
