John Hewson updated PDFBOX-2148:
--------------------------------
Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
> Handle the Fully Qualified Name of duplicate fields better
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-2148
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2148
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 1.8.5
> Reporter: Gilad Denneboom
> Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
> Attachments: field name test.java, field name test.pdf
>
>
> When there are multiple copies with the same field name, the
> getFullyQualifiedName for each kid in the list of PDField objects returns the
> name of the parent, followed by ".null". So if the parent field is called
> "Button2" and it has 4 instances the result of printing out all the names
> will be:
> Button2.null
> Button2.null
> Button2.null
> Button2.null
> Acrobat names these widgets using consecutive numbers, like so:
> Button2.0
> Button2.1
> Button2.2
> Button2.3
> I had a look at the PDF ISO documentation regarding Field Names (12.7.3.2, p.
> 434) and this convention is not mentioned there, but it might be a good idea
> to use it anyway, no?
> I'm attaching a sample code snippet and a PDF that show this issue.
