Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-2709:
----------------------------------------
The dot notation for field names in a PDF represents nested fields with your
field named name.first that should be represented in XFDF as
{code}
<field name="name">
<field name="first"/>
</field>
{code}
In addition in your PDF form there should be a 'name' field with a child named
'first'
[~thinice] could you verify your XFDF and let us know if the issue is with your
data file or you believe it's within PDFBox. If so please do share a sample PDF
and XFDF
