Hello Ulf,

pdfbox does apply some fix ups automatically when doing .getAcroForm().
One is to check for widgets which doen't have a field entry as is the
case in your form and create them.

You can look up the code in AcroFormDefaultFixup.

The way it's currently done is that this only kicks in if there are no
fields at all, which is not the case in your form.

But you can create your own fix up and call
.getAcroForm(PDDocumentFixup acroFormFixup)

In this fix up you can reuse AcroFormOrphanWidgetsProcessor which
creates field entries from widgets.

I havn't tested that with your form but when we created this mechanism
we had in min dthat this should enable users of the lib to create their
own handling reusing some of the code we supply or creating from
scratch.
