FDF field value issue with PDFBox 2.0.5 - COSString{value}

[Dick Martin]

I'm using PDFBox to fill form fields with data from XFDF files using PDFBox
to convert XFDF to FDF.
With 2.0.4, values are filled as expected.

When trying 2.0.5, I find that fdf field values are "enclosed" like this:
COSString{Tester, Richard     (Dick)}

Using the same code with 2.0.4, that same value is returned as expected
like this:
Tester, Richard     (Dick)

Is there something I should be doing differently in 2.0.5 to accommodate
the COSString "wrapper"?  Or is it a 2.0.5 issue?

Here is a code snippet showing how my code iterates through the FDF fields
and gets the field values.  I know this may be out of context.  I can
provide more detail if needed.

List<?> fields = fdf.getCatalog().getFDF().getFields();
if( fields != null )
{
    String defaultAppearanceString = "/Helv 0 Tf 0 g";
    for (Object field : fields)
    {
        FDFField fdfField = (FDFField) field;
        String fdfName, fdfValue;
        Integer fdfNameLen;
        Integer fdfValueLen;
        fdfName =  fdfField.getPartialFieldName() ;
        fdfValue = String.valueOf(fdfField.getValue());
        fdfNameLen = fdfName.length();
        fdfValueLen = fdfValue.length();


Thanks.
