satyaditya m updated PDFBOX-3633:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
I am facing this peculiar issue while trying to get the field values present in 
this form eg : (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf)

When this form is edited on preview app in mac, documentCatalog does not 
contain the acroForm . When the same use case is repeated on the adobe acrobat 
reader app , I am able to retrieve the fields present in the PDF page. 

  File f=new File("fw8.pdf");
        PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(f);
         PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog     =pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog();
        System.out.println("metadata "+docCatalog.getMetadata());
        PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();

        if(acroForm==null){
       Logger.debug("acroform is null");
             }
