Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-3723:
----------------------------------------
You can simplify your code by using {{COSString.getString()}} to get the
content as {{String}} like this
{code}
if (fdfField.getValue() instanceof COSString)
{
fdfValue = ((COSString)fdfField.getValue()).getString()
}
{code}
> FDFField.getValue() doesn't return the values in line with the Javadoc.

> Key: PDFBOX-3723
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3723
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.0.4, 2.0.5
> Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun
> Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
> Fix For: 2.0.6
>
>
> For the 2.0.x releases {{FDFField.getValue()}} doesn't neither return the
> documented {{PDTextStream}} return type nor {{String}} for values of type
> {{COSString}} or {{COSStream}}. This has somewhat be masked by another issue
> fixed in PDFBOX-3596.
> As {{PDTextStream}} is no longer available we should return as {{String}}
> (which is inline with {{PDField}}) and adjust the javadoc accordingly.
