> Key: PDFBOX-5297
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5297
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 2.0.24
> Reporter: Chris Newhouse
> Priority: Major
>
> A customer provided us with a PDF that contains an AcroForm and has some of
> the data filled in. There are various ways to trigger the error, but here's a
> stacktrace:
> {code:java}
> class org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSName cannot be cast to class
> org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSString (org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSName and
> org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSString are in unnamed module of loader 'app')

> The PDF contains sensitive user information, so I cannot post it here
> publicly, but I'd be willing to submit it to a private upload area. When I
> use an editor to remove/change the sensitive data, the problem goes away or
> sprouts up as a different error (related to fonts).
>
> Here is a little bit of metadata I can provide right now:
