Suppose my code looks something like this:
PdfReader reader = new Reader("foo.pdf"); ByteArrayOutputStream out = new 
ByteArrayOutputStream();PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, 
out);Acrofields form = stamp.getAcroFields();
form.setField("fieldName", "test");form.setField("fieldName2", "test");

stamp.close();reader.close();....
If I compile my app on an XP machine and generate a pdf with the app none of 
the form elements will display, and adobe reader says that there are errors on 
the form. The fields that I set to 'test' will display;  I'll see a mostly 
blank pdf form with the words 'test' appearing on the page where you would 
expect them to.
I'm not seeing this problem on my Vista, os X, or linux machines only my 
Windows XP machine.

If I take the same code and generate the .jar on any of the operating systems 
listed above and run it on an XP machine everything works fine. If I take the 
.pdf generated by the xp-compiled jar and run it on other platforms they show 
the same behavior. I've used in house generated .pdfs as well as external ones 
to feed into PdfReader and they're all having the same problem. 
I'm just not sure where to begin looking to solve this, any suggestions would 
be most welcome.
