title: How to get the content of PDF form text fields using pdfbox?
body: <p>I'm using this to get the text of a PDF file using org.apache.pdfbox</p>
  
  <pre><code>File f = new File(fileName);  
        if (!f.isFile()) {
               System.out.println("File " + fileName + " does not exist.");
           return null;
      }
  
          try {
              parser = new PDFParser(new FileInputStream(f));
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Unable to open PDF Parser.");
              return null;
          }
     try {
             parser.parse();
               cosDoc = parser.getDocument();
             pdfStripper = new PDFTextStripper();           
            pdDoc = new PDDocument(cosDoc);
              parsedText = pdfStripper.getText(pdDoc);
          } catch (Exception e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works great for the PDFs I've used it on so far. Now I have a PDF form that has editable text fields in it. My code does not return the text inside the fields. I would like to get that text. Is there a way to get it using PDFBox?</p>
