Damon Li commented on PDFBOX-1234:
----------------------------------
I am working with the attached 'fw8bene--dft.pdf' which throws the same error
for when setting a value to a field.
Has anyone solved this issue yet? I have attached a unit test which fails for
me when trying to set a value for the first text field, the name of which is
'topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].f1_001[0]' I believe.

> Reason seems to be that PDApperance.getFontAndUpdateResources() returns null,
