XFA fields support lock/read-only attributes as well. You need to change XML in the XFA template. Same idea as form filling the XFA, but different place in the grammar.

Either you are working with XFA > _OR_ you are working with AcroForms. It's like cross the > streams.... That does seem to be what I'm doing, and it doesn't make any sense to me either. All I can say is that it's working, so I assumed it was just a case where iText says one thing, but actually does another. If it doesn't make any sense to you, could you clarify what you meant in your reply saying: > Set the locked attributes on the fields. That comment started me looking into what attributes were available on the individual fields, which is how I came up with the working code I've given, after much trial and error with the various undocumented constants and parameters available for the various field types. However, I can't find any "locked" parameter, attribute, property, etc on any of the Acroform fields or XFA fields. So if there's a better way, I'm happy to listen - how would you "set the locked attributes on the fields"?
