Best way to determine if an existing form field has the multil

2006-07-20 - By Malloy, James

I have a process that fills forms. I want to do a specific action if a
form field is multiline. What is the best way to determine if the field
is multiline?

Previously I have done:
com.lowagie.text.pdf.AcroFields

Source code of com.lowagie.text.pdf.AcroFields

item = form.getFieldItem(field);

PdfDictionary dict = (PdfDictionary) item.merged.get(0);

Object multiline = dict.get(PdfName.FF);

if (multiline == null) {

//Do something

}

This no long seems to work as I intended because fields that do not have
the multiline property checked return an integer value rather than a
null like it used to. it seems like I am missing something and there
should be an easier way.

I am using the latest version of Itext on JDK 1.3.1_10
