    Hi PD4ML,

    We are using 4.0.6 latest snapshot with license.
    We are trying to generate editable PDF, but we are seeing some exceptions.

    Markup being used:
    <input type=’checkbox’ value=’true’ name=’$Test’ />
    <input type=’radio’ name=’$Test1′ value=’UI’>

    Java Code:
    pd4ml.generateForms(true, “”);

    Exceptions seen:
    Whenever the name attribute value contains “$”, we are seeing pd4ml exceptions as below
    Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NullPointerException

    Thanks,

    The issue is going to be fixed with today’s nightly build.

    Please note: As names like “$Test” are invalid from HTML spec perspective, they are internally substituted with something like “invalid-name”. So even “$Test” and “$Test1” are different, internally they named identically and may cause unexpected radio button grouping in some contexts.
