After further investigation.. It appears the form fields are stored as annotations.

I used the tool below to create the attached document. https://www.sejda.com/desktop The following code returns an empty list for the form elements. PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = document.getDocumentCatalog(); PDAcroForm acroFom = docCatalog.getAcroForm(); List<PDField> fields = acroForm.getFields(); But when I create the document using pdf box it is able to recognise the form elements. Thanks, Kodjo
