Get DefaultAppearance of TextBoxField

[opeterka]

NullPointerException is thrown when getting default appearance of TextBoxField. As per customer, it is because no page or document is set to the textboxfield, but I can not figure how to circumvent the problem.
[Java]

com.aspose.pdf.Document doc = new Document();
   doc.getPages().add();
    
   com.aspose.pdf.Table tab = new com.aspose.pdf.Table();
    
       TextState textState = new TextState("Arial");
   textState.setFontSize(14);
   tab.setDefaultCellTextState(textState);
    
   int poznamkaWidth = 165;
    
   //Set with column widths of the table
   tab.setColumnWidths("70 115 60 80 " + poznamkaWidth);
   //tab.setColumnAdjustment(ColumnAdjustment.AutoFitToContent);
    
   //Set default cell border using BorderInfo object
   tab.setDefaultCellBorder(new com.aspose.pdf.BorderInfo(com.aspose.pdf.BorderSide.All, 0.5F));
    
   com.aspose.pdf.MarginInfo marginTable = new com.aspose.pdf.MarginInfo(0,0,0,16);
   tab.setMargin(marginTable);
    
   //Set table border using another customized BorderInfo object
   tab.setBorder(new com.aspose.pdf.BorderInfo(com.aspose.pdf.BorderSide.All, 0.5F));
   //Create MarginInfo object and set its left, bottom, right and top margins
   com.aspose.pdf.MarginInfo marginInfoCell = new com.aspose.pdf.MarginInfo(2,2,2,2);
   //Set the default cell padding to the MarginInfo object
   tab.setDefaultCellPadding(marginInfoCell);
    
   //Create rows in the table and then cells in the rows
   com.aspose.pdf.Row row1 = tab.getRows().add();
   row1.setFixedRowHeight(10);

@opeterka,

Thanks for your patience.

We have further investigated earlier reported issue PDFJAVA-36753 and in order to resolve this problem, and in order to configure defaultAppearance, we need to connect the TextBoxField with the Document instance. Please try using the constructor with IDocument parameter instead default constructor:

TextBoxField tbf = new TextBoxField(doc);

In case you encounter any issue, please feel free to contact.
