you can try PDAcroForm.xfaIsDynamic() - if that returns true the form you are having is a dynamic XFA based form which doesn't have an 'classic' PDF fields as the form is rendered at runtime. To get the data you need to PDXFAResource xfa = PDAcroForm.getXFA(); Document xmlDocument = xfa.getDocument(); and then grab the xfa.datasets.data node from the xmlDocument. You could also get the xfa as a byte[] using xfa.getBytes() if you'd like to process it via XSLT or a streaming parser.
