I don't know what you mean with "CO array", I thought this was a typo
because your image does not have a "CO" array.
Re "but they seem to be quite oblique" - please try to run .getObject()
on them.
PDField.createField() does not create a new field, it just creates the
PD-Object from a COSDictionary.

The CO array contains COSObjects, yes, but they seem to be quite oblique,
with nothing more than a reference number.
Are you saying I can use the COSObject itself to find the field? If so, how?
Note I'm not trying to create new fields, just locate the existing ones
referenced in this array.

How did you get the indirect number in the first place?
Normally this would be a COSObject and you can dereference that one by
calling getObject() and here it would be a COSDictionary. You can pass
this to PDField.createField().

Hi all,
I'm trying to see if there's a way to get a field's name using PDFBox
based
on the Indirect Reference number to it.
Namely, the numbers that are used in the CO array of the AcroForm
object. I
can see those numbers in the PDF Debugger app next to the field name (see
screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/gCHvVRx.png), but I looked everywhere in
the properties of the PDField and PDAnnotationWidget and can't find them
there. Any pointers will be much appreciated!
Regards, Gilad.
