> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-1346
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1346
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PDModel.AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Reporter: Anselm Kruis
> Labels: patch
> Attachments: PDChoiceField.java.patch
>
>
> If the field flags "Combo" and "Edit" of an acro form choice field are both
> set, the field is an editable combo box and can hold arbitrary string values.
> See ISO32000-1:2008 Section 12.7.4.4 "Choice Fields", Table 230 "Field flags
> specific to choice fields".
> Problem:
> The implementation of the method
> org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDChoiceField#setValue(String)
> does not check for the special case of an editable combo box and raises an
> exception, if you try to set a value not in the options list.
> The provided patch fixes the problem.
