Hi

So I think that this behavior has something to do with a field having a problematic appearance /AP entry.

I thought maybe that if the field's /AP entry is bad that maybe its default appearance /DA would be used.

So I tried setting the field's /DA to the form's /DA value with:

var da = pdForm.getDefaultAppearance();
textfld.setDefaultAppearance( da );

but this unfortunately didn't cause the field value to be rendered either.

Can someone give me insight as to how PDFBox handles this and where in the PDFBox code base I can look for this ?

Most of the magic happens in AppearanceGeneratorHelper.java

Or is there another way to handle this ?
