Hi,

I have just started using iText and if I missed an obvious place to find the 
answer to this question, please point me in a direction.

I am searching for a method of clearing the FF_READ_ONLY flag from a form 
field.  I have searched a bit and tried the following but always get the 
following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: This AcroFields instance 
is read-only.

The error first occurred when I tried to fill in the form with the following:

form.setField("Field_1", "TestText");

I then placed tried the following and received the same exception on the 
setFieldProperty line:

form.setFieldProperty("Field_1", "clrfflags", PdfFormField.FF_READ_ONLY, null);
form.setField("Field_1", "TestText");


Thanks in advance for any help,

Sterling
