----------------------------------

             Summary: Form Field Hidden but Printable is not identified as 
hidden
                 Key: PDFBOX-5197
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5197
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: AcroForm
    Affects Versions: 2.0.18
            Reporter: Vikram Sah
         Attachments: overlapping Text.JPG

While working on a PDF Form which has two overlapping form fields 
 # TestBox Common Property  – Hidden but Printable
 # DropDown with Common Property – Visible but Dosen't print

But when we flatten the form but calling 
pdfDoc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm().flatten()

the text on the respective fields also over lap.

But as per the documentation of the flatten (Invisible and hidden fields will 
be skipped and will not become part of the page content stream). 

Debugged it further found out the isHidden() is returning false for both the 
controls. Attached the screen shot of the over lapping text.
