my pd object was null, as I was loading the FDF file first and the program did not know about the PDF file yet. so the null error is resolved. My acroform is not populating yet, but the error is gone.

I am hoping you can help with an error I am encountering. I believe at the line "PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = pd .getDocumentCatalog();" the nullpointerexception is occuring. The console shows that the FDF file is loaded, however the next println statment "1" nevers appears, the nullpointerexception occurs. Read FDF file: c:\files\CYLeveler-DLIGCAP.FDF FDF file loaded Exception in thread "AgentThread: JavaAgent" java.lang.NullPointerException at JavaAgent.NotesMain(Unknown Source) at lotus.domino.AgentBase.runNotes(Unknown Source) at lotus.domino.NotesThread.run(Unknown Source) public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase { PDDocument pd; FDFDocument fdf; PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog; } public void NotesMain() { System.out.println("Read FDF file: " + flds[1]); File input = new File(flds[1]); fdf = FDFDocument.load(input); System.out.println("FDF file loaded"); PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = pd.getDocumentCatalog(); // I think this is where the nullpointerexception occurs. System.out.println(" 1"); PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm(); System.out.println(" 2"); acroForm.setCacheFields( true ); System.out.println(" 3"); acroForm.importFDF(fdf); System.out.println(" 4"); thank you for any assistance you can provide.
