Tilman Ginzel commented on PDFBOX-3454:
---------------------------------------
I cannot reproduce the issue with the given example pdf using 2.0.3 and 2.0.4,
so it seems to be fixed there.
If I use our pdf (unfortunately I cannot share it), I get black borders with
version 2.0.2, as expected.
Using 2.0.3 oder 2.0.4 I get a NullPointerException, while trying to set a
value to a PDTextField.
Sorry, I thought I'd still get the black borders issue, but that was before
using 2.0.3.
I tried to debug the problem, maybe it is another issue or a problem with our
pdf.
Here is a minimal java example.
{code:title=Main.java}
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File("input.pdf"));
PDAcroForm form = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
form.getField("userdata1.name").setValue("name");
form.flatten();
doc.save("output.pdf");
{code}
Stacktrace:
{code}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPageContentStream.getName(PDPageContentStream.java:964)

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDTextField.setValue(PDTextField.java:218)
{code}
The private property _PDResources resources_ is null.
If I set
{code}
form.setNeedAppearances(true);
{code}
before setting the value, the NullPointerException is gone. But then
_flatten()_ does break something, all form fields are empty in the resulting
pdf.
Could this be a problem with our pdf? Should I open another issue with an
example pdf or am I doing something obviously wrong?
