I am looking for help in running this TableTest as there are 3 Classes I
can't locate and have searched

The missing Classes are:
BaseTable
Row
Cell
They are all here:

You're probably somewhat confused, or maybe a beginner. You posted to
the PDFBox user mailing list, but your question is about boxable, a
project that uses PDFBox.
The best is to build that project
https://github.com/dhorions/boxable
by getting it with git (URL: https://github.com/dhorions/boxable.git) or
svn (svn URL: https://github.com/dhorions/boxable) and then run maven.
If you lucky, these are supported by your IDE.

Subject: Re: Migrate form field entries from one pdf to another
Hi,

Hello
Thanks for the answers. I have attached two PDFs by hopefully removing all
traces that could violate the NDA, which I can't get to work.
Normally when a checkbox is checked the fields value AND the
appearance need to be updated. This is not the case with your form.
How was the value of the original form set? Which software?
The value set in the form is by simply clicking it in Adobe Acrobat
(Reader). It sets the field accordingly, nevertheless for a set
field,
getValue() still returns null. The forms themselves were created
with InDesign, I think. Not sure though. So, you're kind of implying
that independent of the field type (Textbox, PrintButton, Checkbox,
Radiobutton), PDFBox would normally expect the value of a field to be
!null?
I did a quick test with a newly created form using Adobe Acrobat and
setting the checkbox also with Acrobat. There the value is not null when the
checkbox has been checked.
I have attached now PDFs, where with my tool the value is null.
unfortunately the attachments didn't make it through the mailing list. Could
you upload them to a public location?

How could I deal with this? Because this is exactly what seems to
fail and also cause this dreaded exception message when trying to
fill out the forms with anything other than PDTextbox.
Without looking at the form:
a) test if getValue returns null if not take that value
b) if it returns null test if the box has been checked - if yes take that
value.
Which value?
use the value retrieved from a) or b) to set the fields value in the pdf
template.
I'm not sure which value you mean.
What would be helpful is either a screenshot of the form fields entries
using the PDFDebugger
[http://pdfbox.apache.org/1.8/commandline.html#pdfDebugger
<http://pdfbox.apache.org/1.8/commandline.html#pdfDebugger>] or the printout
of the fields getDictionary() method so there is some more information about
how the field definition looks lie. Best would be to have the form of
course.
Attached. Also you can find the code here: http://pastebin.com/Ra0ebSis
<http://pastebin.com/Ra0ebSis>. Let me know if something else is needed.
The idea is that you call it with the template TestTemplate.pdf and the
input PDF Test.pdf, resulting in an output PDF that is a carbon-copy of the
input PDF, but with the template PDF CI/CD (in my test case they are
identical, but it serves the purpose).
Would anybody here be willing to have a Skype or Teamviewer session
with me tonight or tomorrow night to have a look at the problem?
We're willing to pay for such support. If so, please send a private
message to me, so we don't clutter this mailing list.
I'm currently on travel so won't be able to do that
Thanks, anybody else?
Cheers
Roberto
