Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-1234:
----------------------------------------
Unfortunately there is a multitude of potential issues with regards to
AcroForms and PDFBox if the form is incomplete or doesn't adhere to the
specification. All of that can be fixed and there are workarounds but I agree
that PDFBox should be able to handle these behind the scenes. I'll open
enhancement requests for issues I see and feel free to do so too.
For 2.0 I'm concentrating on getting some missing core features done like
multiline textboxes.

> 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

> 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.
