Hello list,

I want to search for words in a PDF document and get their positions. It seems 
that PDFBox ignores text which has been entered into a form field although it's 
rendered correctly. I can be reproduced easily with the standalone app:

java -jar pdfbox-app-3.0.2.jar export:text -i=Test.pdf
java -jar pdfbox-app-3.0.2.jar render -i=Test.pdf

The Acrobat both finds and extracts text which have been entered into a form 
field.

In my code I use PDFTextStripper. I haven't found any way to configure the 
behaviour. Is it a bug or have I overlooked something? For clarification: I 
don't want to search for the value ('V') but its visual representation ('AP').

Kind regards,

Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Paul Grütter
Head of Development
