Christer Palm commented on PDFBOX-1234:
---------------------------------------
Yes the PDF is of course an example of one of those widely circulated invalid
PDF:s that are still rendered/repaired by Adobe Reader. I'm sorry if that
wasn't clear from the beginning.
I don't know what the PDFBOX policy is on invalid PDF:s, but as a minimum I'd
expect it to throw a meaningful exception, not a NPE.

> Using SVN trunk revision 1291094 (2012-02-18)
> Getting the following stack trace when trying to call PDField.setValue() on a
> AcroForm field in the attached document;
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> at
> org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAppearance.calculateFontSize(PDAppearance.java:551)

> org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDVariableText.setValue(PDVariableText.java:131)
> Reason seems to be that PDApperance.getFontAndUpdateResources() returns null,
> in turn because the font dictionary for the DA of the field ("/Cour 11 Tf 0
> g") is not present in the document.
