you might have a sample code from PDFBox 1.8.x. getKids() is no longer available. To travers the field hierachy you can either use PDAcroForm.getFieldTree or you can check if a field is an instance of PDNonTerminalField -> there are child fields PDTerminalField -> there are no child fields If you have a PDNonTerminalField i.e. a field which has fields as ancestors then use PDNonTerminalField.getChildren().
