Thanks to an old post from Paulo Soares (2006) I've been able to make the
content visible. See the code below:
pdfR = New PdfReader("f:\aangifte_bpm_2010.pdf")
pdfS = New PdfStamper(pdfR, New
IO.FileStream("f:\temp\test_bpm_aangifte.pdf", IO.FileMode.Create))
Dim form As AcroFields = pdfS.AcroFields
form.SetField("Naam", TextBox2.Text)
form.SetField("Adres", TextBox3.Text)
form.SetField("ParticulierOfOndernemer", "Ondernemer")
'Added the line below
form.SetFieldProperty("BTWnummer", "flags",
PdfAnnotation.FLAGS_PRINT, Nothing)
form.SetField("BTWnummer", "123456789B01", "123456789B01")
pdfS.FormFlattening = False
pdfS.Close()
