I've added an example with a test from the code here. Only for the trunk and
3.0, because I'd assume that people who'll need something so advanced will use
the 3.0 version. (If anybody needs it for 2.0 please say so and I'll do it)

> Removing fields not possible
> ----------------------------

> Key: PDFBOX-6179
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-6179
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 2.0.36, 3.0.7 PDFBox
> Reporter: Stefan Ziegler
> Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.0.37, 3.0.8 PDFBox, 4.0.0
>
> Attachments: simple_form.pdf
>
>
> Seems that fields can no longer be removed like this:
> PDField field = acroForm.getField("XXXXX");
> List<PDField> fields = acroForm.getFields();
> fields.remove(field);
> Internally, the field is never found. PDField has no equals method. getField
> and getFields create new PDField instances and so equals fails in this case.
> Shouldn't there be an equals method in PDField, that compares the underlying
> COSObject?
