Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-2846:
-----------------------------------------
It works fine for me on Windows 7 with this code:
{code}
PDDocumentCatalog catalog = doc.getDocumentCatalog();
PDAcroForm acroForm = catalog.getAcroForm();
PDTextField fieldtest = (PDTextField) acroForm.getField("certNo");
fieldtest.setValue("test Something");
{code}
One difference to your code: a cast to PDTextField. But if the wikipedia
article on groovy is correct, you used dynamic typing, so it doesn't matter.
Make sure you have the latest version, there were some changes in fontbox
recently.
If it still doesn't work, maybe it happens only on Ubuntu :-( To verify this,
could you temporarly replace your font with one from a W7 system? The file is
in \Windows\Fonts\arialbd.ttf . Re the OSX problem, is there more in the stack
trace, e.g. a "caused by" part?
