import java.util.List;

import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAcroForm;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDField;

public class PDFBoxLanguageTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

String formTemplate = "C:/Users/XXXX/Downloads/CPIS_test_language.pdf";
PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(new File(formTemplate));
PDAcroForm acroForm = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
if (acroForm != null) {
// Get field names
List<PDField> fieldList = acroForm.getFields();
for (PDField pdField : fieldList)

{ // Here i am passing a text in "Hindi" acroForm.getField(pdField.getFullyQualifiedName()).setValue("सुब्रत"); }
