Christer Palm commented on PDFBOX-1234:
---------------------------------------
By the way, I found some references on the web about the following font name
aliases being used with AcroForms:
Cour -> Courier
CoBo -> Courier-Bold
CoOb -> Courier-Oblique
CoBO -> Courier-BoldOblique
Helv -> Helvetica
HeBo -> Helvetica-Bold
HeOb -> Helvetica-Oblique
HeBO -> Helvetica-BoldOblique
Symb -> Symbol
TiRo -> Times-Roman
TiBo -> Times-Bold
TiIt -> Times-Italic
TiBI -> Times-BoldItalic
ZaDb -> ZapfDingbats
Unfortunately, I didn't find an authoritative source. It does seem to be quite
widely implemented though.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 1.8.4, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Christer Palm
> Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
> Attachments: 200221.pdf, SetPDFFieldValueTest.java, fw8bene--dft.pdf

>
> 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.PDAppearance.insertGeneratedAppearance(PDAppearance.java:371)

> at
> 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.
