Two things based on my reading of the /JAVA/ code:
1) FdfReader doesn't support values that are an array.
2) AcroFields just calls getValue/setValue once for each field. No effort is
made to check list options or update field flags.
Part of the problem with #1 is that it shouldn't work at all. When FdfReader
is asked for a field's value, it gets the /V key, and does this:
if (v.isName()){...}
else if (v.isString()) {...}
There's no clause for v.isArray(), it should fall through and return null.
Don't you love running into things that never should have worked in the first
place? Obviously it does work (to some degree). Either iTextSharp's code
differs a bit (possible but unlikely), or I'm missing something.
I'd call it a bug, but one could easily argue that fixing this would be more of
a Feature Request. Regardless of what you call it, there's a hole in our FDF
support.
