Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-2980:
----------------------------------------
When the same field has multiple locations these are represented by annotations
but there is only one field. So it's correct that there are no kids which are
fields in that case. What are you trying to accomplish with the different
locations i.e. why do you need to access them individually?
> PDField.getKids doesn't return PDFields since 1.8.9

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 1.8.9, 1.8.10
> Environment: $ cat /proc/version
> Linux version 3.19.0-28-generic (buildd@lgw01-03) (gcc version 4.9.2 (Ubuntu
> 4.9.2-10ubuntu13) ) #30-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 15:52:51 UTC 2015
> $ java -version
> java version "1.7.0_79"
> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.6) (7u79-2.5.6-0ubuntu1.15.04.1)

> For my current task I need to access several form fields with the same name.
> I found [PDFBOX-2148], which seemed to be exactly what I need. However, when
> I tried the code and pdf of that bug with Pdfbox 1.8.10, I got no output,
> because {{getKids}} returned {{PDAnnotationWidget}} s instead of {{PDField}}
> s, even when I tried the provided code. So I tried with 1.8.5 (reported
> version) and I got this output:
> {noformat}
> Button2.null
> Button2.null
> Button2.null
> Button2.null
> {noformat}
> With 1.8.8 I've got:
> {noformat}
> Button2
> Button2
> Button2
> Button2
> {noformat}
> And with 1.8.9 and 1.8.10 I got no output at all.
